What a wasted chance by Aston Villa this week! They could have been in 1st place right now if they played more effectively against Sheffield Utd. A draw in the Liverpool - Arsenal match was going to be enough for Aston Villa to stay in that place and this match really ended like that too. I was expecting to see a better game by Liverpool.
However they were really bad in the first half despite scoring that goal by Salah. That equalizer gave Liverpool hope to play better than that in the rest of the match. But this time they started wasting big goal chances. Especially Alexander-Arnold's chance to score was an absolute one but he targeted the post.
Odegaard played with his hand there which was a clear penalty but it wasn't given either. It was a bad evening for Liverpool.
It's very unfortunate that what happened to Aston Villa this week, they could have maximized a bigger opportunity to become leaders of the standings, but unfortunately they failed to win the match against the bottom team. I think the Aston Villa team was very confident and underestimated their opponents so they didn't get maximum results.However they were really bad in the first half despite scoring that goal by Salah.
