Aston Villa ended Liverpool’s 31-match unbeaten home league record with a deserved victory at Anfield.
Liverpool suffer a second defeat in only three Premier League games as Aston Villa earned a 3-1 win in Liverpool.
The Reds fell behind quite unfortunately, due to an own goal from Lucas’ defensive header. Villa then doubled their lead in the injury time of the first half as Curtis Davies glanced a great header into Reina’s near-post, exposing Liverpool’s zonal marking on corners.
Fernando Torres pulled one back with a classy close range volley, but soon after Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard conceded a penalty for a rash tackle on Nigel Reo-Coker. Ashley Young converted the penalty, and soon claimed the Villans’ first win at Anfield since 2001.
