Aston Villa veteran Ashley Young has revealed what was said among the players at half-time during their game against Liverpool.

The Villa Park side were spirited in their contest against Jurgen Klopp's team at home on Monday.

However, they were unable to get anything from the game, losing 3-1 having been 2-0 down at half-time.

Speaking to Villa TV, Young stated: “I think we've got to take the positives out of the game and see the chances we created were big chances against a very good Liverpool team.

“On a different day, we come in at half-time with a different result. We came in at half-time 2-0 down; the next goal was going to be massive, the next goal was going to be vital. We said at half-time that if we go out there and get that goal then things can change.

“I felt it was all in our favour. But when you're playing against a team like Liverpool, you're going to leave spaces in behind trying to chase that second goal. They went and got the third goal and it was game over after that."
