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

Space opens up for Nunez to hit one from around 20 yards out, on the left-hand side. He keeps his head over this attempt, but it's driven straight at Martinez in the centre of Aston Villa's goal.

Having survived a couple of dangerous moments, Liverpool are now sticking to the Slot playbook, neatly keeping the ball inside their own half and hoping to draw Aston Villa on to them.

DOUBLE SAVE! Kelleher keeps the hosts in front! Another inswinging corner-kick is delivered by Digne, who this time picks out Onana. His close-range header is spectacularly tipped over by the goalkeeper! From the next corner, Diego Carlos has a flicked head-on palmed away by the Republic of Ireland international.

A rare sustained spell of possession for Villa ends when Rogers can't pick out Ramsey; they soon recycle the ball, but Digne's cross from the left is too flat and sails past his team-mates in the Liverpool area.

Yellow Card Morgan Elliot Rogers

Ex-Everton full-back Digne - making his 200th Premier League appearance today - swings in a corner from the right. However, it hits the first man. Once again, Liverpool break away upfield following a Villa set-piece, but this time Nunez charges towards the edge of the area and skies his shot into the stand.

A long period of Liverpool build-up is curtailed when Diaz lets the ball slip under his boot. Aston Villa try to quickly counter-attack, but Rogers runs into traffic and eventually gives away a goal-kick. So far, the sole shot on target from either team has been that Nunez goal.

Salah clips a clever ball into the box for Nunez, but the big striker can't quite get on the end of it. The ball skims his head before flying out of play, and Aston Villa will have a goal-kick.

After some loose play by Liverpool inside their defensive third, the ball falls nicely for Watkins, who lines up a shot from just outside the box. He drags it well wide of the left-hand post, however.

Liverpool escape a scare, as Watkins surges into the box from the left wing and is apparently helped over by Konate's shoulder. The referee waves play on, though, and the VAr declines to intervene.
