Liverpool 1-1 Aston Villa: Firmino's 89th-minute equaliser kept Liverpool's Premier League hopes alive

Posted : 20 May 2023
To save a point against Aston Villa and maintain Liverpool's slim chances of finishing in the top four of the Premier League, Roberto Firmino scored an equaliser in the 89th minute.
 
With one game left, Jurgen Klopp's team is three points behind Newcastle United and Manchester United, which means the two teams need only one point from their next two games to qualify for the Champions League for the following season.
 
The fact that Mohamed Salah's low cross was converted by Roberto Firmino at the near post explains why it is still theoretically feasible, though not likely.
 
After a strong performance, the visitors will be upset not to have earned all three points.
 
Midway through the first half, Ibrahima Konate brought down Ollie Watkins in the area, giving them the chance to take the lead, but the striker missed the penalty.
 
Jacob Ramsey scored a well-deserved first-half goal off a Douglas Luiz cross with a sweetly directed volley at the back post as Unai Emery's team kept up the pressure.
 
After that, Liverpool made progress and believed they had tied the score when Cody Gakpo converted after a scramble, but the attempt was disallowed for offside in the lead-up.
 
Villa improved to seventh following the draw, maintaining their chances of qualifying for Europe, but were denied sixth due to the late equaliser.
