Liverpool hosted Aston Villa in one of two 2 pm Premier League games on Sunday.

Liverpool headed into the game looking to maintain their unbeaten start to the season, whilst Aston Villa were aiming to overtake the Reds in the table.

When all was said and done at Anfield, Liverpool came away with the win.

Liverpool got off to a dream start after a corner came in from the right wing and found its way to Dominik Szoboszlai who drilled it through a crowded penalty area and into the net after three minutes.

The Reds doubled their lead after 27 minutes when Trent Alexander-Arnold’s cross and Nunez’s touch was put into the Villa goal by Matty Cash.

Darwin Nunez had a few chances to increase Liverpool’s lead further in the first half but his finishing was off and the score remained 2-0 heading into the break.

The Reds went on to see out the match with relative ease but they did lose Trent to what looked to be a hamstring issue midway through the second half.
