Liverpool surprisingly lost 3-1 to Aston Villa at Anfield to end a run of 31 matches unbeaten at home and leaving them with two defeats out of three so far this season.
Things started to go wrong when Lucas headed into his own goal after 30 minutes and they were made worse on half-time when Davies headed in from a Villa corner.
Liverpool got back into the game midway through the second-half when Torres volleyed home an Insua cross.
However, this was immediately undone when Steve Gerrard gave away a penalty which Young put away for Aston Villa’s first win against Liverpool in eight games.
So a poor result but we didn’t play all that badly and had absolutely no luck in front of goal.
Next up Bolton on Saturday.
