Steven Gerrard gave Liverpool a helping hand in the Premier League after taking a point off the reigning Premier League champions, Manchester City.
City took the lead in the second through Erling Haaland, who scored his tenth goal of the season in the process, but were pegged back by Leon Bailey as Aston Villa earned a share of the spoils at Villa Park.
After demolishing Nottingham Forest 6-0 in their most recent league match, many envisaged the Sky Blues making light work of a Villa side struggling for form in the early stages of the season. In the end, it proved to be a difficult afternoon for the visitors who survived a late scare when former Red Philippe Coutinho saw what would have been a winning goal controversially ruled out for offside.
