An own goal from Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez (2nd minute) and goals from Cody Gakpo (23rd) after minutes of review by the video assistant and Jarell Quansah (48th) had apparently put the Reds comfortably in the lead.

Youri Tielemans (12th) scored the interim equalizer for hosts Aston Villa, who are still hoping to qualify for the premier class next season. The supposed goal in the second half to make it 2-3 by Ollie Watkins (52nd) was disallowed after a video review due to a previous offside position by former Leverkusen player Leon Bailey. In the final phase, substitute Jhon Duran (85th/88th) scored for the fourth-placed team and saved the point.

Liverpool had previously secured participation in the Champions League. In the last game of the season, the outgoing Klopp and the Reds will host Wolverhampton Wanderers next Sunday.
