The game flared up in the continuation of the match, and Liverpool equalized in the 52nd minute when Van Dijk’s header was accurate for 1-1. Just a few minutes later, the visitors were very close to turning it around, but Ngumoha hit the target with an excellent shot.
Aston Villa returned to the lead in the 57th minute. Szoboszlai made a mistake, and Watkins punished the visitors with a deft goal for 2-1.
The game was decided in the 73rd minute when Liverpool goalkeeper Mamardashvili saved his team twice with excellent reactions, but Watkins reacted well to the second rebound, scored his second goal this Friday and made it 3-1.
Two more goals were scored in the very end. First, in the 89th minute, McGinn scored brilliantly from the top of the penalty area to make it 4-1, while Van Dijk scored his second goal in the 92nd minute for the home team’s final score of 4-2.
