The Villans, however, They reacted very quickly to get into the game through Youri Tielemanswho made a pass to the middle of Ollie Watkins with a lethal right hand.
Minutes later, however, Cody Gakpo He would culminate a very revised play by pushing a ball under the goal after a pass to the middle to make it 2-1. And at the beginning of the complement Jarell Quansah would hit a free throw Harvey Elliott to leave Dibu Martínez without a chance.
The party, however, would have a separate chapter for the Colombian Jhon Duránwho entered at 79′ due to a knee injury. Nicolò Zaniolo. And the forward would discount with a left foot down after a recovery at Liverpool’s exit what Alisson Becker saw pass, and four minutes later then with a carom after a cross Moussa Diaby which deflected off him and dislocated the goalkeeper.
The draw is worth a victory for an Aston Villa that practically caresses its place in the UEFA Champions League next seasonwhile nothing changes for Liverpool other than the impossibility of reversing an image of irregularity that ended up costing them this Premier League.
