Compared to the 4-2 win over Tottenham a few days ago, coach Jurgen Klopp made only one adjustment in Liverpool’s starting list when Joe Gomez took Robertson’s place (absent for unknown reason). in the left back position. liverpool 1 In the 2nd minute, the score suddenly opened. In a seemingly non-special situation, Harvey Elliot crossed the ball from the right wing, the ball hit Pau Torres and changed direction and was quite slippery because it was raining on the Villa Park field, but even so, it still needs to be blamed. Goalkeeper Martinez, unable to control the situation, let the ball slip out of his hands and into his own net.

Goals are counted as own goals. liverpool 2 However, it was only in the 12th minute that host Aston Villa found the equalizer. Striker Watkins (No. 11) broke through on the left wing in the direction of attack, dribbled the ball to the bottom of the goal line, then returned the ball back to Tielemans (No. 8), aiming precisely not to give Alisson a chance. liverpool 3 But just over 10 minutes later, Liverpool once again took the lead. In a well-coordinated attack situation involving Salah and Diaz, Joe Gomez smoothly crossed the entire Aston Villa defense and goalkeeper Martinez, allowing Gakpo to easily cushion the goal. liverpool 4 When the balance is broken again and the home team is behind, the game becomes even more attractive. Aston Villa had a number of favorable opportunities towards the end of the first half to once again equalize but failed to take advantage while Liverpool was always ready to attack if given the opportunity.

However, just at the beginning of the second half, the goal appeared again. From a long-range free kick taken by Harvey Elliot, young midfielder Quansah jumped very high and headed dangerously into Aston Villa’s net. This is the 21-year-old’s first goal in the 2023/24 Premier League. liverpool 6 In the next few minutes, the nets of both sides vibrated after almost identical simple cushioning situations by Watkins and Salah. However, after checking VAR, both goals were invalid because of the offside error of the creator. liverpool 7 Aston Villa of course must try their best to attack to turn the situation around because if they succeed (win), they will soon end the season with a position in the Top 4 finals, which means they will be able to participate in the Champions League next season. liverpool 8And then it’s time for Aston Villa to enjoy the deserved results. In the 85th minute, Mac Allister lost the ball dangerously near the home team’s penalty area and was immediately fully exploited by Aston Villa. Jhon Duran, who had just entered the field, was the one to score with a decisive left-footed shot that caught Alisson’s hand. liverpool 9 Not stopping here a few minutes later, it was still the “red boy” Duran who brought home the equalizer 3-3 for Aston Villa and this time it was an extremely lucky goal.

The striker born in 2003 only intended to get down to catch Diaby’s pass but accidentally “kneeed” the ball over Alisson’s head and into the net. liverpool 10 Although unable to create a magnificent comeback victory, with 1 point, coach Unai Emery and his students are only a few steps away from a ticket to attend the Champions League next season. Even Aston Villa may not need the final match to get that.
