Aston Villa vs Liverpool LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Goal Stefan Bajčetić Maquieira

Robertson and Bailey have a coming-together inside the penalty area during an Aston Villa attack, which leaves the winger worse for wear. There’s a pause in the play to allow the medical staff to take a look at him, while Liverpool prepare a change.

NUNEZ DRAGS IT WIDE! The Uruguay international finds himself in acres of space after Salah’s perfect pass forward following a change of possession in midfield but the striker is unable to hit the target, driving into the penalty area before slipping a shot that rolls wide of the far post!

Watkins goes down inside the penalty area and looks towards match official Paul Tierney, who promptly shakes his head and allows play to continue despite the protestations of both the Aston Villa players and supporters.

Robertson’s corner sails just over the head of Matip but Keita is allowed to regather possession just outside the penalty area, linking up with Henderson before smashing an ill-advised first-time effort from 25 yards out that goes high and wide.

Young goes long after Villa keep it inside their half following a short goal-kick, but Ellliott’s deflection on the pass provides Alisson with time and space to reclaim possession. Intelligently, the goalkeeper goes nowhere in a hurry, keeping the ball at his feet to force Villa forward - taking time off the clock in the process.
