The Reds secured their third consecutive win last Sunday, dominating Aston Villa with a convincing 3-0 victory at Anfield.

The match began with an electrifying moment as Dominik Szoboszlai, Liverpool’s summer signing from RB Leipzig, announced his presence with a sensational goal in just the third minute of play.

An unfortunate own goal by Aston Villa’s Matty Cash and a precise strike by Mohamed Salah subsequently secured all three points for Jurgen Klopp’s formidable side.

“It’s a different team and I think it’s important, like always, that we don’t get ahead of ourselves,” Gomez told Liverpoolfc.com post-match.

“Obviously all the boys go round the world now and we have to come back and regroup straight away and try to keep the momentum going. [We] just keep pushing on and see how we get on.”

He added: “There has been a lot of change this year with personnel, but the boys that have come in [are] unbelievable and showed their ability.

“It’s a breath of fresh air as well to see the boys settle so quickly and do what they do and express themselves. Like I say, it’s just the start, we have to keep progressing.”

On making his 200th appearance for Liverpool, the England defender said: “Obviously things change and you have to try to stay ready and that’s what I try to pride myself off. [I] try to apply myself every day to be ready to try to contribute to the team. It’s a nice personal note but even more important is to get the three points.”
