The Premier League title race took another twist last night as Liverpool dug deep to to beat Aston Villa in a tense encounter at Villa Park.
It was a wild start to the match and Villa were ahead after just three minutes through Douglas Luiz thanks to some ropy defending from the Reds.
Trent Alexander-Arnold hoisted a long free-kick into the box which was not well dealt with by Tyrone Mings and Virgil van Dijk squared to set up his central defensive partner as Matip poked the ball into the net. An even bigger concern for the German manager was Fabinho limping out of the contest holding his hamstring half an hour into the game, replaced by Jordan Henderson. Things did not look good for the key midfielder with a Champions League and an FA Cup final to come soon.
