Emery: Opponents who have not scored points in a few games will of course react; mistakes and conceding goals make the game more difficult

In the 10th round of the Premier League, Liverpool defeated Villa 2-0 at home. The Red Army ended their 4-game losing streak in the Premier League, and Villa's 4-game winning streak in the Premier League was ended. In the first half, Martin's mistake gave Salah a gift, and in the second half, Hrafenberch scored with a deflection.

After the game, Emery talked about the defeat. He said: "Of course we are disappointed, because the game actually went according to plan. The opponent was playing at home, and they had not scored points in the previous games, so they needed to react, and they did today.

"We had several scoring opportunities in the first 30 minutes. Our performance was very positive at that time and the situation was good. But at the end of the first half, we conceded a goal due to a mistake, and then things became more difficult. Our performance was still not good at the beginning of the second half and we conceded another goal.

"We reacted and fought hard and almost got a point back. We accept this defeat and we all know that this game will be very difficult."
