LONDON, Nov. 3-- The weekend's Premier League games showed the virtue of patience as league leaders Liverpool came back from a goal down away to Aston Villa with two goals in the closing minutes, while Manchester City also left it late at home to Southampton. The last time Liverpool visited Villa Park in the league they had won 6-0, but with 87 minutes on the clock on Saturday, it looked as if Jurgen Klopp's men were going to suffer their first defeat of the season thanks to Trezeguet's far post finish in the 21st minute. However, Andy Robertson nodded Liverpool level with just three minutes to go and Sadio Mane's flick following a corner in the fourth minute of injury time completed a turnout what was partly the fruit of Liverpool's faith and ambition. Manchester City needed an 86th-minute winner from defender Kyle Walker to complete their comeback at home to Southampton who was a vastly improved side to the one which suffered a 9-0 defeat at home to Leicester City a week ago. James Ward Prouse's close-range finish gave Southampton an unexpected lead after 13 minutes and it wasn't until 20 minutes from time that Sergio Aguero turned home the equalizer. Gerard Deulofeu's 80th-minute penalty gave winless Watford their sixth goal of the campaign, but by then his side trailed 2-0 at home to Chelsea thanks to Tammy Abraham and Christian Pulisic's goals in the 5th and 55th minutes of the game. Leicester City's impressive season continued with a 2-0 win away to Crystal Palace thanks to second-half goals from Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy, who netted his tenth league goal of the campaign three minutes from time. |
