Fans furious as Amazon Prime Video coverage of Aston Villa vs Liverpool cuts out

Amazon Prime angered viewers when cutting coverage of Liverpool's clash with Aston Villa partway through the second half.

Jurgen Klopp's side were 2-0 up at the time thanks to first-half goals from Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, although Aston Villa had their fair share of chances in a frantic 45 minutes.

Unai Emery's side picked up where they left off after the break, penning the Reds in and dominating much of the possession as they looked to get back in the game.

The issue occurred during another action-packed period, with viewers left frustrated at being unable to watch the game.

Not long after coverage resumed, Ollie Watkins pulled one back for the home side as Villa continued to press forward. But Liverpool have just restored their two-goal advantage thanks to substitute Stefan Bajcetic. It was the youngster's first goal for the club and his senior career.
