Liverpool struggle to hold Villa
- Updated: January 18, 2014
Liverpool recovered from two goals down to draw with Aston Villa and maintain their unbeaten start to 2014.
Andreas Weimann stabbed the visitors ahead before Christian Benteke’s header deservedly doubled Villa’s lead.
Daniel Sturridge pulled a goal back for Liverpool just before half-time as he latched onto Jordan Henderson’s flick.
Steven Gerrard’s penalty levelled matters after Luis Suarez went down under goalkeeper Brad Guzan’s tackle.
Since the start of last season, Luis Suarez has won seven penalties – four more than any other Premier League player.
The draw leaves Liverpool just two points ahead of fifth-placed Everton and a win for the Toffees at West Brom on Monday would lift them above their local rivals.
A point moves Villa into the top half of the Premier League – albeit just six points above the relegation zone.
Paul Lambert’s Villa had won just one of their previous seven Premier League matches but should have been ahead even sooner when Gabriel Agbonlahor raced clear on goal from Benteke’s flick-on, only to prod wide.
