Dangerous! Cash is sent right side out to the baseline. Matip almost pokes his low cross into his own net.

An amazing start at Villa Park. Both teams have their sights up and are incredibly offensive. It can go on like this.

Tooor for Liverpool FC, 1-1 by Joel Matip
What is going on here? As a result of a free kick from the right half field there is a turmoil in the middle. Jota pursues a rebound to the left corner of the five-meter space with his stretched leg against an opponent, whom he also hits. However, the scene continues: after Jota’s “pass” in a one-on-one against Martínez from a tight left angle, van Dijk is only the second winner. Matip is then right in the middle three meters in front of the goal Ex-Schalke’s feet, which only needs to be inserted.

Tooor for Aston Villa, 1-0 through Douglas Luiz
The very early lead for Aston Villa! First, Watkins fails from half-left from 13 meters to Alisson. On the second attempt, the marble moves from the right to the left wing, where Digne crosses it again to the back post. Douglas Luiz prevails robustly in a header duel and dusts off from close range after Alisson was only able to parry his first attempt going forward.

On the other hand, the Villans are in no man’s land of the table. With a nine-point lead over the first relegation zone, nothing is burning down below. Nothing is possible going forward either – so they can play freely today. They owe this starting position to their most recent series. The triumph over Norwich City (2-0), who had already been relegated, was followed by an away win at Burnley FC (3-1), who were in acute danger of relegation. The freestyle can now follow the duty.

It was an annoying loss of points that the Reds had to accept recently. In the championship race, they lost two important points to Manchester City due to the draw against Tottenham Hotspur (1-1). With only three matches left to play and the slightly weaker goal difference, the second title under coach Jürgen Klopp seems to be a long way off. Either way, at Aston Villa, anything but a win would be the final knockout in the fight for England’s football crown.
