Liverpool drop crucial points in title race with 2-2 draw against Aston Villa

Liverpool’s Premier League title hopes suffered a setback after a 2-2 draw against Aston Villa at Villa Park, no thanks to Darwin Nunez.

Mohamed Salah put the visitors ahead in the 29th minute, but Villa responded with goals from Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins before halftime.

Trent Alexander-Arnold equalized in the second half, keeping Liverpool’s hopes alive.

However, Darwin Nunez missed a golden opportunity to secure all three points, firing over from close range with Emi Martinez out of position.

Villa nearly snatched a late winner, but Jacob Ramsey’s goal was ruled out for offside.

Liverpool remain top of the table, eight points ahead, but Arsenal can reduce the gap to five if they beat West Ham this weekend.
