Watkins opened the scoring for Villa before Salah equalized for the hosts and Alexander-Arnold ensured Liverpool’s comeback to win 2-1.

The Egyptian had another chance to open the scoring for the hosts but narrowly missed the far corner as he went one-on-one with Martinez.

Firmino also came close but dragged his shot wide.

Despite having very little of the possession, it was Villa who broke the deadlock as Watkins scored to make it 1-0 in the 43^rd minute.

The England international was played in by McGinn before he poked a shot at goal which Allison could not keep out.

The Reds finally equalized in the second half through Salah in the 57^th minute.

Robertson made a driving run and had a shot saved by Martinez but Salah was present to head it home on the rebound to make it 1-1.

Trezeguet nearly doubled the lead for Villa but was denied as his shot rebounded off the post.

Liverpool kept the pressure on and kept attacking the Villa goal and were richly rewarded in extra time through Alexander-Arnold.

Alexander-Arnold got onto the clearance ball from Cash and curled the ball into the net to clinch the winner.

It was too little too late for Villa as they were distraught with the last-minute goal concession.

Liverpool held on 2-1 to clinch the points and go 4^th in the points table. Aston Villa remain 10^th.
