Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Who Was Man of the Match?
Liverpool banked yet another 3 points at Anfield after a very lacklustre 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Until Mané put the Reds in front in the 70th minute, we failed to create any chance of note whatsoever, with Villa looking the more likely to break the deadlock with numerous dangerous counterattacks. A win is a win, though, which keeps our remarkable run of victories at home continuing along nicely.
In goal, Alisson unsurprisingly started and played very well. A couple …

Why Liverpool's best players are taken for granted
Who is Liverpool’s best player?
Who is Liverpool’s player of the season?
