Aston Villa Gets A Massive Victory

Aston Villa got a vital win in Anfield today, 3-1. It was only Villa's second in their last 22 in Liverpool. Villa were shockingly beaten on opening day at home by Wigan 2-0, but this win more than made up for it. Liverpool have already lost two games this season, the same amount of losses they had in all of last year. Liverpool wasted a glorious chance after only a couple of minutes. Liverpool had several shots on goal in the scramble and looked surely like they would put it in. Gerrard had the best chance in the sequence, but was somehow denied. Villa got the opener on 34 minutes. Ashley Young fired in a free kick that Levia diverted into his own net. It was a shocking error. The second goal was a killer right before halftime, when Davies headed in from a corner. Liverpool had several great chances, but could not get the breakthrough until 72 minutes when Torres scored from a well worked move. Villa responded right away when Young scored via the penalty. Gerrard was the one who gave away the penalty with a rash challenge. The win was a huge one for Villa, while Liverpool dropped three more crucial points.
