LIVERPOOL, England :Roberto Firmino scored a dramatic late equaliser in his final appearance at Anfield for Liverpool to keep the Merseyside squad's slim chances of a top-four finish in the Premier League alive with a 1-1 draw against Aston Villa on Saturday.
Juergen Klopp's side are fifth with 66 points with one game remaining, but three points adrift of fourth-place Manchester United who have a game in hand. Unai Emery's Villa are seventh with 58 points from 37 games. Villa could have taken the lead five minutes earlier when they were awarded a penalty, but Ollie Watkins sent his shot wide.
Firmino, Naby Keita, James Milner and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, who were part of the squad that won the Champions League in 2019 and helped the club win their first English league title in 30 years in the 2019-20 season, are all leaving Anfield after their contracts expire at the end of the season. The quartet were presented with framed photos in a post-game ceremony.
