End of match

  • 95'
    FT: Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa!! All over at Anfield! Villa were the better side after a poor first half, but once Mane scored 19 minutes from time, an unimpressive Liverpool took charge. Curtis Jones put the result beyond doubt in the 89th minute and Villa's Premier League future remains uncertain. Thanks for joining us and we hope to see you again soon!

  • 88'
    Liverpool get a corner now.
  • 86'
    Jones goes for goal from distance and it goes well wide. The referee played an advantage in the build up for a clear shirt pull, but the Villa man avoids a card.

en el 71' (Liverpool)
  • 71 '
    Mane makes it 1-0 to the home side! In off the bar and out of nothing! TAA's long pass finds Keita on the left hand side of the box, he then squares for Mane in the middle who fires in off the bar from six yards!! Unlucky for Villa.

  • 51'
    Chance for Grealish!!! Villa attack as Trezeguet holds the ball up, he finds McGinn who puts in a lovely through ball and his shot is saved. The flag was up though.
  • 50'
    A cross to the back post by Keita is far too strong and Salah can't get to it.

  • 46'

  • 45'
    HT: Liverpool 0-0 A Villa! Half-time at Anfield in a poor first half. The main thing to report is that Grealish may have to go off with a problem just above his right ankle. Hause and El-Ghazi have had half chances for Villa while Salah had one for the hosts, but 0-0 is very fair. Back for more in a bit!

  • 32'
    Attempts: 0-1. Just that Hause header over from Grealish's free-kick.
  • 30'
    It hit Konsa's thigh so no pen.
  • 29'
    Liverpool are playing this one like a typical end of season game and Villa look content with 0-0 so this game has been uneventful so far.
