Despite Villa being the much better team this half, Liverpool once again get a lucky goal as they have done many times. Don’t want to ever hear any Liverpool supporter saying they don’t get any luck because tonight disproves this.
Vincent
Haha there's something quite funny about Villa fans singing about Nunez who has no way of understanding what they are saying, while their team is losing. Only in football.
Ethan
Emery making the same Gerrard mistakes - Bailey cannot play on the right and Buendia can't play on the left. Watkins needs far too many chances to score, Ings would have banged in 2-3 today. Liverpool were there for the taking today.

Jon: Really can't wait for Carlos and Martinez to return. Overall, I don't think Villa deserve to lose, on balance. Just need to learn to take chances.
Mouthomatic: There are three certainties in life. Death. Taxes. And Darwin dragging it wide of the post.
Ross: Darwin Nunez being unfavourably compared to Andy Carroll is one of the funnier things the Villa crowd have come out with.
Bob: Nunez is a very expensive decoy for Liverpool. He obviously is not there for his scoring prowess.

What a moment for 17-year-old Ben Doak.
He comes on for his Premier League debut, replacing Darwin Nunez.

A triple change for Aston Villa.

He replaces Boubakar Kamara.
Danny Ings on against his former team too for Leon Bailey.
Leander Dendoncker replaces Emi Buendia.
Five to go.

GOAL - Aston Villa 1-3 Liverpoolpublished at 80 mins
Stefan Bajcetic
Image source, Getty ImagesWhat a substitution that turned out to be.
Young Spaniard Stefan Bajcetic scores his first senior goal two minutes after coming on.
It's a well taken goal from the 18-year-old, skipping past Robin Olsen and smashing in, but let's give a round of applause to Darwin Nunez.
The Uruguayan hasn't had the best day in front of goal, but did brilliantly to keep the ball in play and force Olsen into patting the ball back into the danger area.
Bajcetic was on hard to kill Villa's hopes with 10 minutes remaining.
SUBSTITUTIONSpublished at 78 mins

Darwin Nunez, in on goal.
Wide.
He was clear one-on-one with Robin Olsen following Mohamed Salah's delightful through ball but could not find the target.
Another poor miss from the Uruguayan.
