Entering the match with only 11 minutes remaining and Aston Villa trailing 3-1, the 20-year-old Jhon Durán reshaped the game with a rapid-fire double.


Durán's stunning performance marked the climax of an exhilarating match that began with the Reds seizing the lead in the second minute, as Emi Martínez inadvertently redirected Harvey Elliott’s deflected cross into his own net.


Fueled by an impassioned crowd, Villa swiftly responded, with Youri Tielemans driving home an equalizer after just 12 minutes, only for Cody Gakpo to restore Liverpool's lead.

Despite missed opportunities by Diego Carlos and Moussa Diaby, Villa remained determined. Their resolve was tested further when Liverpool extended their lead early in the second half through Jarell Quansah.


But Villa refused to surrender. In a late surge, substitute Durán first unleashed a powerful shot from the edge of the box past Alisson, then benefited from a fortunate deflection off his knee from Diaby’s pass, igniting jubilation among the Villa faithful in the final home game of the season.


Amidst a hero's welcome, the Villa fans hoped to buoy the team after their recent European endeavors. The return of Tielemans from injury provided an additional boost, yet Villa found themselves trailing once more due to Martínez's rare error.


As the match swung end-to-end, Villa's attacking prowess shone through, epitomized by Watkins’ clever play leading to Tielemans’ earlier goal.


Although the introduction of Durán reignited hope, and Villa surged forward with renewed belief, they fell short of clinching a sensational victory, with Diaby's fierce half-volley saved by Alisson in the dying moments.
