    GOAL - Liverpool 1-1 Aston Villapublished at 16:17 British Summer Time 10 April 2021

    Mo Salah (57 mins)

    And there is the leveller! And that one will count. Diogo Jota's ball is a good one again to find Andrew Robertson steaming up on the left, the full-back hits a rasping shot across goal and while Emiliano Martinez makes a strong, one-handed save, Mo Salah is there to get to the ball first and head in.

    Aston Villa are dangerous on the break now. John McGinn is getting up there quickly to help Ollie Watkins. Liverpool have to live dangerously - but it's looking a bit too dangerous at the moment.

    Lovely ball from Diogo Jota to unpick the packed Villa backline but Andy Robertson's cross is dealt with.

    Good reaction from Liverpool this second half. They have come out with a high tempo but as we said in the first half, nothing wrong with the tempo, but it's just that finishing. They were unlucky again there with the shot across goal.

    Sadio Mane is out warming up, stretching. Villa then stretch Liverpool with a rare counter and win a throw. In it comes, Bertrand Traore spins and shoots but it's wide.

    Roberto Firmino finds Mo Salah inside the area, he feathers in a low shot that is deflected, right across the face of goal and wide. It just won't go in!

    The crowd not being inside Anfield is a big factor but it's more than that. Liverpool have actually played well today, the system has worked well, the energy levels have been good - but the finishing has not been good. When Ollie Watkins got his chance, he took it brilliantly.

    Douglas Luiz picks up a needless booking for not retreating at a free-kick which is on the halfway line. Liverpool probing away with some early pressure.

    I've got the freeze frame up, looking at the lines drawn, and I think that is a goal. That's how tight it is!

    Liverpool have been the better side, had much more of the ball - but it just seems fated against them here at Anfield.

    That, is, incredible.

    They have said it's offside! It's his shoulder he's going for?!

    Inches is pushing it. That is incredible...

    Not for the first time this weekend, never mind this season, I've no idea why that goal was ruled out to be honest.

    But ruled out it was and Villa lead at the break.

    Aston Villa all over the place defensively. That cross field ball that Liverpool have got wrong time and time again, they finally get it right! Is there a question mark over the knee of Jota there?

    Was Diogo Jota offside? It's very marginal, and they are also seeing if the ball took a touch off Matt Cash on the way...
