Liverpool won 3-1 at home to Aston Villa on Monday, on the traditional day of the English football championship, known as Boxing Day.
Jürgen Klopp's team had a great start to the early evening meeting, taking the lead in the 5th minute thanks to Mohammed Salah, and Virgil van Dijk's goal increased the advantage of the visiting team before the break.
The hosts Birmingham took the initiative at the beginning of the second half and improved after a quarter of an hour, but they were unable to score another goal in the continuation, and 18-year-old Stefan Bajcetic ensured Liverpool's success in the 81st minute.
The joy of Liverpool fans can only be overshadowed by the fact that their Uruguayan player, Darwin Nunez, missed a lot of opportunities this time, and his use of opportunities is quite impressive.
