Liverpool Football Club Tuesday night continued piling up pressure on Premier League leaders Manchester City after coming from behind to claim victory over Aston Villa at Villa Park.
The Reds were down in the opening three minutes of the game when Douglas Luiz bundled home after Liverpool keeper Alisson failed to hold his header.

Jurgen Klopp’s men retaliated three minutes later courtesy Joel Matip following a goalmouth scramble and the sides then exchanged chances before Sadio Mane put the visitors ahead with a superb angled header from Luis Diaz’s cross in the 65th minute.
The win means Liverpool now lie second only on goal difference before City’s visit to Wolves on Wednesday.
Former Liverpool striker Danny Ings wasted opportunities to equalise and inflict a blow to his old club’s hopes of winning a historic quadruple – although the Reds did suffer an injury setback when influential midfielder Fabinho went off in the first half with a hamstring problem that must make him doubtful for Saturday’s FA Cup final against Chelsea.
