The Argentine national team goalkeeper, Martinez, committed a fatal mistake that cost the team a stupid goal against Liverpool at the end of the 37th round of the English Premier League, so the match ended in a 3-3 draw between Liverpool and Aston Villa, in the match that brought them together at Villa Park.
The match started without a trace, with an early goal in the second minute, after a cross from Harvey Elliott touched Pau Torres and deceived goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who failed to catch the ball and it turned into the goal.
10 minutes later, Aston Villa equalized through Yuli Tielemans, after a wonderful pass from Ollie Watkins, one of the candidates for the Premier League Player of the Season award.
In the 23rd minute, Liverpool were able to score the second goal, through Cody Jacobo, after a pass from Luis Diaz, and a wonderful exchange of the ball between the Liverpool players, ending the first half with Liverpool leading, despite many missed opportunities from Aston Villa and the Reds.
The second half was opened by Liverpool with a third goal scored by young defender Konsah, with an excellent header after a cross from Harvey Elliott, in the 46th minute.
Substitute John Doran succeeded in taking advantage of McAllister’s mistake by coming out with the ball, to fire a shot past goalkeeper Alisson Becker. In the 89th minute, Leon Bailey ran and passed the ball to the back of the defense to find Doran, and the ball hit his foot and fell into Liverpool’s goal in a very strange way.
With this result, Liverpool’s score is 79 points in third place, while Aston Villa is fourth with 68 points, 5 points behind Tottenham, which has a match in hand against Manchester City.
Aston Villa needs a draw in the final round in order to qualify for the Champions League, if Tottenham beats Manchester City.
