Roberto Firmino scored an emotional late equaliser on his final Anfield appearance – but failure to beat Aston Villa still leaves Liverpool’s Champions League hopes hanging by a thread.
With manager Jurgen Klopp watching from the stands because of a touchline ban, Ollie Watkins missed a penalty for the visitors before Jacob Ramsey struck after 27 minutes.
Firmino, who will leave Liverpool in the summer, came on with fellow departee James Milner with 18 minutes left and there was a sense of inevitability that the Brazilian should mark the occasion by turning in Mo Salah’s cross and looking up to the sky in celebration.
