For a while, it looked like business as usual for Liverpool – in other words, Egyptian Mohamed Salah scored for the top club.
Away against Aston Villa, Liverpool star Salah could with a simple side-foot score his 24th league goal of the season, which is five more than second-placed Erling Braut Haaland of Manchester City.
After that, things went wrong for Liverpool. In the 38th minute, Youri Tielemans could score 1–1 after a header chaos in the penalty area.
Ten minutes later – in added time of the first half – Ollie Watkins also headed in Aston Villa's leading goal.
After an hour, it was still 2–2 at Villa Park in Birmingham when Trent Alexander-Arnold's shot was deflected into the goal via an Aston Villa leg. It was also the final result.
Liverpool tops the Premier League with 61 points. Second-placed Arsenal has 53 points, but has one fewer game played. Arsenal will host West Ham on Saturday – for Liverpool, the next game is against fourth-placed Manchester City (44 points) away on Sunday.
