Just 1 minute into the game, Liverpool scored! Martinez made a low-level mistake when he saved a difficult ball and found it in his own net. It was an own goal that gave Liverpool a fantastic start. It was Liverpool's eighth own goal of the season, setting a single-season record in team history. Three minutes later, Salah forced his way into the box on the right and then cut inside to shoot into the far corner, but unfortunately it was slightly wide and the ball went straight out of the bottom line. In the 11th minute, Aston Villa equalized! Watkins sent in an inverted triangle back ball from the bottom of the pitch, and Tielemans followed up with a powerful shot and the ball went into the net! The two sides returned to the same running line.
In the 19th minute, Pele sent a through ball and Watkins stepped forward to get a chance to face the goalkeeper in the box. However, his shot was blocked by a defender who was chasing back in time, and a good chance was wasted. Four minutes later, Liverpool scored again! Gakpo seized the opportunity in front of goal to outflank and push the empty goal! In the 35th minute, Carlos had an empty chance in front of goal, but he missed it. Six minutes later, Trent Alexander-Arnold fired a long-range shot from outside the box that went just wide of the right-hand post. At half-time, Liverpool led Aston Villa 2-1.
In the second half, it was easy to play again. In the 47th minute, Liverpool scored again! Elliott takes a free-kick and Kwaanza heads it in the box. The ball drills into the bottom left corner of the goal. The quality of the header was too high. Goalkeeper Martinez could only watch as the ball went into the net. Four minutes later, Watkins scored, but the goal was disallowed because Pele was offside. In the 58th minute, Elliott pushed an empty goal, but the goal was disallowed because Dias was offside. Seven minutes later, Aston Villa made a substitution, with Zaniolo coming off the bench and Youri Tielemans coming on.
In the 68th minute, Zaniolo had a good chance when he pushed a shot from the middle of the box that was cleared up in the middle of the box, only to be saved by the goalkeeper on the ground. In the 76th minute, Szobosloy's shot from a tight angle was saved. In the 85th minute, Aston Villa pulled a goal back! Duran seized on McAllister's mistake and scored from distance! Nunez then scored a solo goal, but it was blown off for offside. In the 88th minute, Aston Villa scored again, and Diaby's through ball hit Durant's leg and refracted into the net! It's amazing! Liverpool conceded two goals in a row and suffered a miserable draw. Emery! In the end, Liverpool 3-3 Aston Villa.
