Striker Cody Gakpo endured pain to play after a terrible collision with Tyrone Mings in the first half.
Aston Villa marched to Anfield with the goal of winning all 3 points to maintain a place in the European Cup. With a style of play that is not afraid of collisions, Unai Emery’s team has caused countless difficulties for Liverpool. In a ball at the end of the first half, Tyrone Mings’ boot kick almost caused serious injury to Cody Gakpo.
The television station’s slow motion later showed that Mings hit the ball, but the bottom of the English midfielder’s shoe kicked straight into Gakpo’s body. During the celebration of the “missed” goal at the beginning of the second half, people saw Gakpo accidentally take off his shirt and reveal creepy injuries after Mings’ tackle.
To be fair, Liverpool played a bad match against Aston Villa. They took the lead after Jacob Ramsey’s header in the 27th minute. Five minutes earlier, Ollie Watkins missed a great opportunity on the penalty spot.
Liverpool’s subsequent efforts helped them score an equalizer in the 89th minute thanks to Roberto Firmino.
