It was a tense opening 25 minutes, but one moment led to the visitors having a huge opportunity to take the lead.

A blistering Ollie Watkins ran into the box and took his touch at the right time, inviting a challenge from Ibrahima Konaté.

The official immediately pointed to the penalty spot but Villa’s attacker of the season stepped up and missed the target.

Ollie Watkins has now missed more penalties (5) than he has scored (4) during his league career. Completely missing the target at Anfield. ❌ #LIVAVL

Thankfully team-mate Jacob Ramsey came to the rescue minutes later for Unai Emery and turned things 1-0!
