Liverpool’s thrilling draw against Aston Villa on Monday night put an end to Jurgen Klopp’s travels. The Reds battled out a 3-3 tie in the Premier League thanks to goals from Cody Gakpo and Jarell Quansah, as well as an own goal from Emiliano Martinez.Becker 7 Alisson Despite being powerless to stop Villa’s goals and twice igniting panic with poor clearances, Zaniolo and Diaby made excellent stops in the second half.
Frequently shifted into a central midfield role early in the game but was required to focus more on defensive duties before the break, with the second half characterized by a defensive battle. Had a powerful shot denied by Martinez.
Jarell Quansah: 7
Beaten by Watkins in the build-up to Villa’s first goal but otherwise impressive, making crucial blocks in the first half and brilliantly heading in his first Premier League goal.
Virgil van Dijk: 6
Challenged by Villa’s deep runners on occasions but made necessary interventions in the second half amid Villa’s pressure, although struggled to completely stem the tide.
Joe Gomez: 7
Had defensive responsibilities in the first half but managed to advance and assist the second goal. Provided solid cover after halftime as Villa pressed.
Wataru Endo: 7
Tasked with extensive defensive covering in the first half and couldn’t be everywhere at once, but improved significantly in the second half and was sorely missed after being substituted.
Harvey Elliott: 7
Started brightly, with his cross leading to Martinez’s fumbled opener. Became more involved defensively as Villa improved and delivered a fine free-kick for the third goal. Received a booking before being substituted.
Alexis Mac Allister: 5
Maintained his recent good form, leading the line impressively and tapping in the second goal. Strong physically and effective in ball distribution.
Luis Diaz: 6
Played a role in the second goal and was active in the first half, although a better pass could have created a clear chance for Salah. Received a booking.
Darwin Nunez (substituted for Gakpo in the 75th minute): 6
Was caught offside unnecessarily when sent clear by Jones but displayed sharpness.
Ryan Gravenberch (substituted for Elliott in the 75th minute): 6
Had limited involvement after coming on.
Curtis Jones (substituted for Diaz in the 76th minute): 6
