Liverpool 2 Villa 0

November 2, 2025

There was apprehension and fireworks in the air as kick off approached against Aston Villa. You could almost taste the tension. Villa set their stall out from the off. A player going down as in pain after just eleven seconds [I checked the clock]. The apprehension and tension grew when Villa hit the woodwork. One sensed the referee Stuart Atwell was out to antagonise us. Suddenly Anfield came alive so a big thank you to the referee. A goal chalked off by VAR but a minute later Villa ‘keeper gave Mo a gift. Now you could sense the relief. When Gravenberch added the second you’d have never known there’d been a crisis. The Kop sang about the manager; smiles had replaced frowns. It wasn’t perfect but it made our weekend.
