Liverpool moved eight points clear at the top of the Premier League after being held to a gripping draw at Aston Villa.

The Reds had not lost in the Premier League since being beaten 1-0 by Nottingham Forest at Anfield in September, but were almost undone by sloppy defending and a lack of cutting edge.

Youri Tielemans and Ollie Watkins cancelled out Mohamed Salah's 29th-minute opener, before Trent Alexander-Arnold levelled 16 minutes after the break.

Having extended their lead over second-placed Arsenal, Arne Slot's side go to Manchester City on Sunday in what could now be a defining week in the title race.
