Liverpool played out a 3-3 draw with Aston Villa in the Premier League on Monday night.

The Reds led 3-1 late on following an own goal from Emiliano Martinez – which was cancelled out by Youri Tielemans – and then strikes from Cody Gakpo and Jarell Quansah.

However, a quickfire double from substitute Jhon Duran in the final five minutes earned the home side a point. Liverpool began the evening with a perfect start inside two minutes, opening the scoring via a Martinez own goal.

It was the first attack from either team on the night with Harvey Elliott racing into the box to deliver from the right, seeing his cross deflect into the net after the home goalkeeper was unable to gather.

Mohamed Salah and Gakpo both went close too, with the Reds enjoying much of the early play. The hosts, however, levelled the game in minute 12 through Tielemans after Ollie Watkins broke down Liverpool’s right to pick out his teammate inside the area.

Leon Bailey then twice went close for Unai Emery’s outfit, seeing two efforts blocked, with the second a half-volley on the turn in the box. It was the visitors, though, who added to the scoreline next thanks to a clinical counter-attack.

Gakpo was the scorer from Gomez’s low ball into the six-yard box, following clever build-up from both Salah and Luis Diaz, with a lengthy VAR check for offside required to confirm the on-field decision.

Villa responded and should’ve been level a short while later, though Diego Carlos was unable to turn in Bailey’s low ball across the face of goal.
