Aston Villa 2-2 Liverpool - PLAYER RATINGS: Which star is a 'lovely footballer'? Who was his side's brightest spark? And who failed to grab the game by the scruff of its neck?

Liverpool extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points after an entertaining 2-2 draw against Aston Villa.

Villa had started the game brightly, but disaster struck when Diogo Jota pounced on an error from Andres Garcia before he squared the ball for Mohamed Salah to tuck home his 24th top flight goal of the season.

Youri Tielemans levelled things up on 38 minutes with a smart finish, before Ollie Watkins put the hosts ahead on the stroke of half-time.
