Events

Match Events

  • 0' The ball is rolling at Villa Park. Aston Villa FC are looking to make home advantage count against Liverpool FC.
  • 5' A stunning finish from Mohamed Salah — that came from absolutely nowhere!
  • 10' Aston Villa FC are deployed in a today, looking to exploit space against Liverpool FC's shape.
  • 15' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Tyrone Mings suffering a number of foals already.
  • 20' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 25' It looks like no one’s ball. Liverpool FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 30' Trent Alexander-Arnold has been disciplined this evening — perhaps mindful of those 38 cards already picked up this season.
  • 35' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His Aston Villa FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 37' What composure from Virgil van Dijk! The Netherlands international strokes it home. 0-2.
  • 38' The deadlock is broken! Virgil van Dijk gets on the scoresheet on 38 minutes.
  • 43' Joel Matip is putting in a real shift tonight. He has covered more ground than anyone else for Liverpool FC so far.
  • 48' The energy levels are beginning to show. Unai Emery might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 53' Liverpool FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 58' Neither side is committing men forward. This has all the hallmarks of a tense, tactical contest.
  • 59' Against the run of play, Ollie Watkins has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 64' Aston Villa FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 67' Another substitution for Liverpool FC to replace Thiago Alcantara by Naby Keita on 67 minute.
  • 72' With 0 assists to his name this season, Douglas Luiz is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Liverpool FC.
  • 77' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 79' Joe Gomez has so much to prove this time. He replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold on 79 minute.
  • 81' What a strike from Stefan Bajcetic! The score is 1-4.
  • 85' Aston Villa FC manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Philippe Coutinho is hanging Boubacar Kamara on the field on 85 minute.
  • 86' Another substitution for Aston Villa FC to replace Emiliano Buendia by Leander Dendoncker on 86 minute.
  • 88' Ben Doak is replacing Darwin Nunez for the Liverpool FC side.
  • Time to leave. No sensation happened. Another win for Liverpool FC players.
