Aston Villa Star John McGinn Hails 'Relentless' Liverpool Following Late Defeat

Aston Villa talisman John McGinn has claimed Liverpool's victory at Villa Park came because of their tireless work ethic.

McGinn's Aston Villa suffered defeat at the hands of the league leaders on Saturday, after two goals in the final seven minutes of the game secured victory for the Reds.

Aston Villa took the lead through Trezeguet but late strikes from Andy Robertson and attacker Sadio Mane saw Liverpool maintain their six point lead at the top of the Premier League table, following ten wins and a draw from their opening matches.

Whilst Villa held the lead for over an hour and performed remarkably well, McGinn admitted Liverpool's tireless pressure eventually eroded the hosts' stubborn defence.
