Liverpool benefit from deflected cross
The hosts also had a good scoring opportunity after the break: Mo Salah crossed from the right, but not a team-mate, but Villarreal defender Pau Torres almost deflected into his own goal. Eight minutes after the change of sides, the left-back steered Estupiñan passed the ball on the Henderson flank keepers Geronimo Rulli into their own meshes.
The 2-0 a little later was the result of fast, precise interaction and the Spanish defense was overwhelmed: After a wonderful pass from Salah through the Spanish defense, Mané tipped the ball past the powerless Rulli into the goal.
Liverpool also scored two goals, which were rightly disallowed due to a narrow offside position. After the 2-0, Jürgen Klopp’s team controlled the game and gave the visitors more of the game without seriously jeopardizing the promising result. Villarreal failed to get a regular shot at the English goal during the game.
Liverpool can do the “Quadruple” perfectly
This means that the English still have the best chance of winning all four titles for the first time in the club’s history. They have already won the league cup FA Cup is the final against the Chelsea FC and Thomas Tuchel, and Liverpool are just a point behind long-time rivals Manchester City in the championship.
