The mentality monsters strike again as Liverpool overcome VAR at Villa Park

Comeback kings. Mentality monsters: Liverpool Football Club.

Even when you think they’re beat they show what they’re made of.

Leicester, Manchester United and now Aston Villa. Three of the last four Premier League games the Reds have left it late to come up with a crucial moment when it matters.

The odd game out in that was last weekend against Tottenham, when Jurgen Klopp’s men still had to come from behind to win at Anfield.

Despite Roberto Firmino’s armpit being in an offside position and a penalty appeal for handball being turned down , Liverpool still showed their mettle to dig in and take all three points from Villa Park.

Blood Red: Jurgen Klopp discusses Firmino's VAR 'offside' goal

With Man City to come next Sunday - and following their own come-from-behind win at home to Southampton - three points on the road were crucial for Klopp’s men.

Catch all the reaction you need, from Klopp’s press conference, the ECHO’s Liverpool correspondent Paul Gorst’s verdict and reaction from our regular fan contributors in the Post-Game podcast.
