🗒️ Match Events
Both teams are out under the lights at Anfield, and kick-off in this Premier League contest is now just moments away!
- 1st Half Begins
1’| Following a moment’s silence ahead of Remembrance Sunday, the home side kick off, and we are under way in Liverpool.
2’| Liverpool’s win over Leverkusen represented a sixth straight home victory for the Reds - who have scored at least twice on each occasion - so they must be confident of overcoming an off-form Aston Villa side today. They’ve started brighter than their visitors from Birmingham.
4’| Wearing all white, Villa are having their first sustained spell of possession, calmly stroking the ball about just inside Liverpool’s half. The hosts don’t mind sitting back for a while before striking at speed on the break.
12’| It’s still quite a disjointed game at this point of proceedings, with very little consistent tempo from either side. Liverpool have had almost 70% of the ball, but they’ve yet to make that pay in the final third.
18’| Despite keeping both Liverpool and Anfield fairly quiet so far, Opta’s live win predictor has Aston Villa’s chance of victory at just 18% as things stand. The home side have a 59% chance of picking up the points that would take them five clear of Man City at the top.
20’| ⚽ Goal! Liverpool [1], Aston Villa 0. Darwin Núñez (Liverpool)
- GOAL!!! LIVERPOOL LEAD! Straight from a Villa corner-kick, the away side are left stretched as Liverpool counter at lightning speed. Salah sprints away towards the area from halfway, before Bailey bundles him over; the ball runs free for Nunez, though, and he takes a touch before firing it high past Martinez from a tight angle! The Reds lead 1-0 at Anfield!
- Highlight
23’| Delay in match because of an injury Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool).
25’| 🔄 Substitution, Liverpool. Conor Bradley replaces Trent Alexander-Arnold because of an injury.
34’| 🟨 Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) is shown the yellow card for a bad foul.
38’| DOUBLE SAVE! Kelleher keeps the hosts in front! Another inswinging corner-kick is delivered by Digne, who this time picks out Onana. His close-range header is spectacularly tipped over by the goalkeeper! From the next corner, Diego Carlos has a flicked head-on palmed away by the Republic of Ireland international.
45’| Beaten by Salah on the right side of Villa’s area, Ramsey pulls up clutching his calf. The ball runs away over the byline for a goal-kick, and it looks like that could be game over for the Birmingham-born midfielder.
45’| Delay in match because of an injury Jacob Ramsey (Aston Villa)
45’| Fourth official has announced 3 minutes of added time.
45’+2’| Substitution, Aston Villa. John McGinn replaces Jacob Ramsey because of an injury.
45’+3’| 🟨 Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa) is shown the yellow card

- 2nd Half Begins!
46’| Aston Villa kick off, and we are back under way at Anfield!
46’| MISS! Straight after the restart, Rogers shoots narrowly wide from a great position on the left of Liverpool’s area! He hits it low, but the ball zips just past the far post!
48’| WIDE! Diaz and Robertson combine on the left, and the latter whips over an excellent cross to the near post. Nunez meets it with a header, but he guides the ball just wide of the left-hand upright - he really should’ve scored!
51’| Nunez has attempted five shots in 50 minutes, which is the first time he’s hit that mark in one Premier League game since facing Manchester United on 7th April. A little more accuracy and he would’ve had a hat-trick.

84’| ⚽ Goal! Liverpool [2], Aston Villa 0. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
- GOAL!!! Salah strikes again! The Liverpool winger’s eighth Premier League goal of the season seals the deal! Diego Carlos heads the ball straight to Salah following a long clearance, and the latter races clear down the right. He then coolly beats Martinez with a powerful finish to make it 2-0 to the Reds!
