Mane, Robertson both 7/10 as Liverpool snatch victory from the jaws of defeat at Villa

Sadio Mane scored a last-gasp winner as Liverpool survived a major scare to win 2-1 against newly-promoted Aston Villa. The hosts deservedly led at the break as an uninspired Liverpool fell behind to Trezeguet's close-range finish.

Andy Robertson levelled the scores in the 86th minute before Mane's brilliant 94th-minute header broke Villa hearts and ensured Jurgen Klopp's side extended their Premier League unbeaten run in dramatic fashion.

Positives

Liverpool improved after the break as they looked to play with more intensity and only a fine Peter Schmeichel-esque save from an inspired Tom Heaton prevented Sadio Mane from levelling the scores.
