Liverpool broke their bad record in the 2020-2021 Premier League. Liverpool grabbed their first home win since entering 2021.
Previously, Liverpool had already played seven Premier League home matches since the turn of the year. The Reds-nicknamed Liverpool- got one draw and suffered six successive defeats.
The bad record stopped when Liverpool hosted Aston Villa at Anfield Stadium, Saturday, April 10, 2021. However, Liverpool had to fight until the last minute to beat Aston Villa last night.
Liverpool struggled to face Aston Villa despite being superior in every way. Liverpool even fell behind in the 43rd minute because of Ollie Watkins’ goal.
Liverpool were able to equalize in the 45 + 2 minute through Roberto Firmino’s goal. However, the referee annulled him because Diogo Jota was in an offside position.
Liverpool equalized in the 57th minute through Mohamed Salah’s action. Salah’s goal gave Liverpool hope to win this match.
However, an additional goal was not created until the 90th minute. When the match looked like it was about to end in a draw, Trent Alexander-Arnold (TAA) scored Liverpool’s winning goal in the 90 + 1 minute.
Victory won by Liverpool with great difficulty. Therefore, Salah is very satisfied with this positive result. According to the player from Egypt, victory is the most important thing for Liverpool.
“Finally! It was a great match, a difficult match, but we won the match and that is the most important thing,” said Salah, quoting the BBC, Sunday (11/4/2021).
“We’ve lost a few games here (Anfield). Mentally, we were like ‘Oh no, not anymore.’ However, we did a good job in the second half, “he said.
