Aston Villa vs Liverpool 14 may 2024 Premire League

Duran breathes life back into Aston Villa’s Champions League dream with late double

This was a game where Aston Villa began by losing the plot but then almost finished with a Hollywood ending.

In front of their celebrity actor fan Tom Hanks, who addressed the crowd beforehand, they mounted a stirring comeback taking them to the brink of a Champions League place. At 3-1 down with just five minutes to go they flipped the script.



It certainly felt like that amid the wild scenes of celebration at the final whistle after two goals by a dynamic substitute. Duran Duran was on song.

Aston Villa do not quite have the Hollywood ending to their season but the watching Tom Hanks got an illustration that football can script stranger drama than his line of work. A three-minute double from Jhon Duran – perhaps a case of Duran Duran scoring – denied Jurgen Klopp a valedictory victory on the road in his final away game as Liverpool manager.


The substitute’s brace – and his distinctly strange, rather unwitting second goal, in particular – nudged Villa closer to Champions League football, even if their destiny remains unclear.

Emi Martinez scored an own goal after fumbling into his net just one minute in, before Youri Tielemans equalised. Liverpool took a two goal lead thanks to Cody Gakpo and Jarell Quansah either side of half-time and looked set for the three points, until Jhon Duran came off the bench to net twice late on.



Back in 1983, Klopp was just being taken on as a youth team player with TuS Ergenzingen, 15 miles from his hometown of Glatten in the Black Forest, and no-one could predict the impact he would go on to make as a manager.

And it was due to a horrendous, awful error from Martinez who fumbled Harvey Elliott’s deflected cross into his own net. He almost patted it over the line. To say it was deflected makes it sounds like it took the kind of change of direction that elicits an excuse or provides some mitigation. No, it merely brushed off Pau Torres and the look on Martinez’s face said it all.
