Liverpool 2-1 Aston Villa: Jürgen Klopp's post-match verdict

Jürgen Klopp revelled in Liverpool’s ‘best goal for ages emotional-wise’ after Trent Alexander-Arnold’s late winner secured a come-from-behind 2-1 victory over Aston Villa.

Alexander-Arnold’s sweetly-struck shot from just outside the area sealed all three points for the Reds at Anfield on Saturday, after Mohamed Salah had scored just before the hour to equalise Ollie Watkins’ opener, which came against the run of play in the 43rd minute.

Klopp’s team shook off the frustration of seeing a Roberto Firmino goal disallowed for a marginal offside call following a VAR review in first-half stoppage time, and dug deep to strengthen their push for Champions League qualification.
