Erik ten Hag admitted he was not bothered by the full-time scoreline of Liverpool versus Aston Villa as the game at Anfield neared its end.
Manchester United did their part on Saturday afternoon after beating Bournemouth 1-0, which has now left them on the cusp of the Champions League. The Red Devils now require one point from their final two fixtures to secure a top-four finish, in a devastating blow for Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's side could have ramped up the pressure on United had they got the better of Villa and came agonisingly close to snatching all three points deep into ten minutes of additional time, though could only manage one goal from the departing Roberto Firmino.
