Liverpool’s second goal came from a Darwin Nunez shot which hit the post and went in off Matty Cash
Villa were under siege, finding no outlets, and suffered another early setback when Diego Carlos hobbled off injured. The unfortunate defender missed most of last season with a ruptured Achilles tendon and required lengthy treatment before exiting down the tunnel. Emery responded positively, introducing another attacking option in Leon Bailey and returning Cash to right-back. The same could not be said of his team.
There was a brief, belated spell of pressure from the visitors when John McGinn blazed over and Bailey made a mess of finishing off a flowing move involving Douglas Luiz and Lucas Digne. But Liverpool remained dominant otherwise, and would have been out of sight by the interval had Joël Matip not sent a free header wide from an Alexander-Arnold free-kick or Núñez’s deft chip over Martínez not hit the bar.
