Emery knows Villa must cut out mistakes
- Published
Unai Emery insists Aston Villa must learn from their mistakes after Andres Garcia's costly error.
The defender gifted Diogo Jota the ball for the forward to set up Mohamed Salah for Liverpool's opener in Wednesday's 2-2 draw.
Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins fired Villa 2-1 ahead before Trent Alexander-Arnold's second-half leveller.
The point left Villa ninth in the Premier League and five points adrift of the top four.
Emery said: "We were having the same problem sometimes two years ago, even last year, We are trying to get better, to get good position with the players. We need matches.
"Now we have to try to avoid mistakes but we have to accept mistakes, try to learn and get better from it. Last year maybe we could have three or four mistakes like today and always we were moving forward."
Loanees Marcus Rashford and Marco Asensio made their first starts since joining during the winter transfer window.
The pair came off mid-way through the second half as they build their match fitness but Emery was happy with their contribution.
He said: "Getting better, getting minutes and confidence with a good feeling with the club, supporters and team mates. I think they performed well and they are helping us more and more."
