Liverpool Continues to Soar
Liverpool Continues to Soar
Liverpool fans went through a major let down after witnessing the away-match with Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium last week.
But on July 5 (MYT), the Reds managed to redeem themselves and pulled of a slow, but noteworthy performance. Maybe it was the magic of home soil, Liverpool FC is now at 89 points in the Premier League ranking, on account of their 2-0 win over Aston Villa at the Anfield Stadium.
Liverpool VS Aston Villa Recap
Aston Villa followed the footsteps of Manchester City and gave Jurgen Klopp and his men a guard of honor before the match took place. Unlike the Citizens, the Aston Villa men were much more cordial and genuine when doing the ceremonial guard.
The Anfield derby progressed rather uneventfully. There were many hits and miss from Liverpool and Aston Villa. The match remained so until the 71st minute when Sadio Mane broke the deadlock.
About half an hour after the match has begun, Douglas Luiz, who plays as a central midfielder for Aston Villa, tried to shoot his shot. Luiz did a nice hit, and it would have gone into the goalpost immediately. But the ball was shot strategically into the middle of the goal area, where the goalkeeper was able to get a hold of effortlessly.
Another similar scenario took place at the 36th minute when it was Liverpool’s chance to score. Star player, Mohamed Salah, was kicking the ball sideways, and it was close to entering the goalpost until the Aston Villa goalkeeper threw himself to the ground and absorbed the impact of the fast-moving ball.

Fast forward to the 50th minute, Anwar El Ghazi tried his luck at breaking the deadlock, but his attempt got foiled by Alisson Becker.
The climax of the derby came about a little after the first hour, when Naby Keita, who plays as a central midfielder, passed the ball to Sadio Mane. With what felt like a millisecond after Sadio Mane got hold of the ball, he kicked it straight away, and the ball shot right into the goalpost. All of this happened so quickly that even Pepe Reina, the Aston Villa goalkeeper, could not see it coming.
Jurgen Klopp, who later said in a press conference that the game with Aston Villa was a difficult one, raised his fists to the air when he saw what unfolded. His expression turned quickly from shock to a YES!
On the projector screen where the faces of the fans from all around the globe were visible, we could see them seated with their body and face tight. But the minute when Mane shot the goal in, the fans shot up from their seats and shrieked.

Brazilian attacking midfielder plus winger, Roberto Firmino attempted to shoot his shot, but Reina was quick to his feet. He hoisted his body, extended his arms to the maximum, and blocked the ball out.
Curtis Jones secured the 2-0 win over Aston Villa at the 88th minute.
Being only 19 this year, Curtis Jones plays as a midfielder for the Reds. This goal was especially meaningful because it was Jones’ first Premier League scoring, which also helped secure Liverpool’s points in the chart.
Jurgen Klopp was very delighted with Jones’ performance. Knowing how this was only Jones’ third Premier League appearance, Klopp praised the young player for being able to be so confident and decisive on the field. With Mohamed Salah passing the ball down to Jones, he swept home from the goal area.
And with that, the Anfield derby closed its curtain while Liverpool reveled in their victory.
Liverpool VS Brighton Prediction
Liverpool will be playing an away-game with Brighton & Hove Albion at Falmer Stadium on Thursday (July 9) at 3:15 AM (MYT).
Looking at the 4-0 defeat Liverpool has suffered when competing against, which many said or joked, it was due to the hangover the men and Jurgen Klopp were suffering from their title-holder celebration, bettors are bound to be iffy with the Reds. Would they keep their heads in cloud nine once again upon winning against Aston Villa, or would they learn from their lessons and keep their heads in the game?
Looking at the current state of the Brighton and Liverpool football club, we believe both teams have a great shot at scoring goals. To date, Brighton has a 9% average goal conversion rate, and Liverpool at 15%. But taking results, form checks, and head-to-head records, from previous matches, Liverpool seems to have the upper hand, and we think success will side the Reds.
