Sunday, March 31, 2013 Liverpool have kept their faint hopes of finishing in the most effective four alive while they beat Aston Villa 2-1 at Villa Park. Brendan Rodgersa men had to gain the hard way after Christian Benteke had provided the lead to the hosts but Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard hit in the next half to provide three things to them. The win maintains them seventh, just seven points behind fourth located Chelsea, while beat considers Aston Villa remain in the relegation on goal big difference. The opening exchanges in the Midlands were very even but glorious opportunity was fired by Gabriel Agbonlahor straight at Pepe Reina each time a opportunity either side would have opened the score. And, at the other end, Luis Suarez was guilty of an identical miss moments later as he shot straight at Brad Guzan following a fantastic encounter the location. It had been a beauty from the person the Villans fans call aThe Beasta, however, as he half-volleyed property from Agbonlahoras pas after 31 minutes that broke the deadlock. Liverpool were then thwarted twice right before half time as Brad Guzan declined Suarez and then tipped an excellent Steven Gerrard attack from the very best corner. 3 minutes after the split the Reds did have the ability to equalise as Jordan Henderson made a great clipped finish to get rid of a beautiful passing transfer. Philippe Coutinho, Brendan Rodgersa A6.5million January signing, offered the superb aid for that target and he almost obtained one of his true own occasions later, but a low effort wide was dragged by him of the post when through one-on-one with Guzan. Liverpool continued to press as they seemed to take the lead at Villa Park and Glen Johnsonas deflected hit hit the vertical. They eventually did on the hour-mark when Suarez was fouled in the penalty area by Nathan Baker and Steven Gerrard calmly slotted home from the spot to create 2-1 to it. Andreas Weimann skied a fantastic chance to get Aston Villa back on level terms, while a brilliant goalline clearance was made by Gerrard to deny Benteke his second goal of the overall game since the hosts struck back, but Liverpool were able to keep on and seal success.
