There goes the final whistle! A 3-1 win for Aston Villa. A job well done by the visiting side. Weimann departs to be replaced by N'Zogbia. The whistle sounds seconds later.

Suarez is booked for complaining about a decison that fails to go for Liverpool. Can't blame the referee for that. He called that right. Suarez has been complaining for large swathes of the afternoon. We are into three minutes of time added on.

85'
Cole tries to flick the ball at the Villa goal, but ends up nudging it well wide of the target.
84'
Liverpool with 23 shots at goal, but nothing to show for it. The Liverpool fans begin to head for the exit doors. Hardly a surprise.

Downing picks out Agger in the Villa box. Can't connect properly with the ball as he turns and lifts the effort well wide of the target.
82'
Bannan drives a shot at the Liverpool goal, but comes off Weimann before dropping wide. Villa not abandoned hope of finding a fourth here today.

79'
Villa dropping deep and closing down space. Very difficult to see Liverpool finding one goal here never mind three.
78'
Villa coming off the back off a 4-1 win at Norwich in the League Cup last eight. This one completes a great week for Lambert's side.
77'
Suarez's free-kick deflects into the heart of the Villa box. Could have broken to a red shirt. But doesn't. More frustration for Liverpool is the story of this match.
76'
Delph deemed to be late on Sterling and Liverpool have a free-kick 25 yards from the Villa goal.
75'
Villa standing tall to see out the cross by Downing before doing likewise seconds later. Villa just refusing to buckle.

Villa have won just one of their last 10 at Anfield. This is going to be two in 11 unless Lambert's side stage a massive collapse.
73'
This is the second time in Premier League history Liverpool have been 3-0 down in a Premier League home match – it also happened in the 3-3 draw against Manchester United in January 1994.
