Rate the Liverpool players for the Boxing Day win at Aston Villa

Liverpool secured their third consecutive Premier League win with a 3-1 victory over Aston Villa on Boxing Day.

Mohamed Salah opened the scoring to equal Sir Kenny Dalglish’s goal tally for Liverpool (172). Virgil van DIjk then headed the Reds into a 2-0 lead at half-time.

Ollie Watkins got a goal back for the home side to set up a potentially nervy finish. But Liverpool calmed those nerves when they got a third goal through substitute Stefan Bajcetic, which was the first of his professional career.
