Unai Emery admits Aston Villa were ultimately caught out by Liverpool’s “amazing” transition in a Boxing Day thriller.
Goals from Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk put the Reds in control at the break before a strong revival from the home side led to Ollie Watkins pulling a goal back and setting up a grandstand finish.
Liverpool, though, capitalised on one of several breakaway opportunities when Darwin Nunez set up teenage substitute Stefan Bajcetic to score his first senior goal and seal a 3-1 Premier League triumph on Monday.
