99’
Alexander-Arnold delivers a lovely cross, but Martinez is well off his life and up high to claim the ball. Great keeping at this late stage of the match… he clears the ball and the referee tastes the edge of his whistle…
99’
Liverpool clear up from their own half, the players are fighting hard for possession… and Liverpool get a free-kick ten metres inside the Villa half.
98’
OH NO! Salah with a crazy backpass across his own box, Villa anticipate and steal the ball but can't get their shot on target… and Liverpool counter and Villa are all hands to the pump doing their best to keep Liverpool at bay.
97’
Milner and Gakpo push forward but Villa win the ball back.
96’
YELLOW CARD, ASTON VILLA, KONSA.
95’
Liverpool push forward again, win another corner… the ball rolls out to Elliott… he curls a left-footed shot on goal… but once again Liverpool's shots on target are also mostly on Martinez. For the amount of chances they have had they certainly haven't tested the Villa keeper.
94’
Villa get the memo and push up on attack, but the Liverpool defence close them down. This looks like a high drama final five minutes!
93’
Liverpool seek blood, winning a corner, and forcing Villa to turn the ball around for a corner twice… Milner crosses in for Salah on the byline… but his volley is soft and easily collected by Martinez.

FULL-TIME, LIVERPOOL 1-1 ASTON VILLA. Truly a tail of two halves (and a whole lot of injury time!). Villa outstanding in the second half, pulled back in the second half as Liverpool woke up and went on the offensive, but hit too many shots straight to Martinez. But great entertain, great skills and a great way for Firminho and Milner to bid goodbye to Anfield. Great Premier League action, hope you enjoyed it, and hope you have a smashing sporting weekend.
