That spectacular strike leveled the game after Jacob Ramsey had earlier fired Villa in front.

Firmino has now scored 110 goals in 361 games for the Reds.

Ramsey buried a low volley following a cross from Douglas Luiz 27 minutes into Saturday's game.

Villa had earlier missed a golden chance to take the lead when Ollie Watkins failed to hit the target from a penalty kick.

Liverpool thought that they had leveled 10 minutes into the second half but Cody Gakpo saw his goal disallowed for offside following a VAR review.

James Milner also came off the bench to play his final home game as a Liverpool player.

Saturday's result ended Liverpool's run of seven consecutive wins.

The Reds now look highly likely to miss out on a place in next season's UEFA Champions League.
