Nathaniel Phillips dominates against Aston Villa and throws in man who races Great show on Saturday afternoon.
Liverpool were down 1-0 against Villa after a 43rd minute goal by Ollie Watkins, making life difficult for them.
However, Nathaniel Phillips bolstered the defence with his amazing aerial prowess and the Reds managed to score twice to seal the victory.
Phillips – Air Superiority vs Aston Villa
The England centre-back played the full 90 minutes against Aston Villa and showed a game-worthy player.
Whoscored gave Phillips a 7.8 out of 10 for his performance, most likely due to his aerial success.
The 24-year-old managed to win 10 aerial duels.
No other player came close to that number, with Watkins, Trezeguet and Matthew Cash all finishing second with threes.
This is only Phillips’ tenth start in the Premier League so far this season, but with performances like this, the 24-year-old has done a good job keeping his place.
Jurgen Klopp’s next game is against Real Madrid in the Champions League, a game the Reds are two goals behind on aggregate.

Reds vs Madrid
Liverpool need to overcome a two-goal loss when they face Real Madrid in the Champions League in midweek.
Vinicius was outstanding in the last game against the Reds as the Brazilian scored twice and was selected scoreman of the game.
Klopp expects Phillips to show a similar defensive performance against Madrid.
Liverpool will have a hard time surviving the Champions League if they concede first against the Spanish giants.
