Liverpool's Perseverance Highlighted by Astonishing Statistic After Last-Gasp Winner Over Villa

Liverpool maintained their unbeaten start to the season in the league as they scored a late double to overcome a resilient Aston Villa on Saturday.

Villa's Trezeguet capitalised on some poor marking and poked home from a John McGinn cross after 21 minutes.

However, Jurgen Klopp's men continued to apply pressure on the home side and eventually found an equaliser through Andy Robertson three minutes before time. With seconds remaining, Sadio Mane glanced in a header, earning his side all three points.

It was a match that looked to be running away from Liverpool, who were well below their usual free-flowing best, but Mane's 94th-minute winner was the latest example of the resilience of this team.
