In blizzard conditions at a freezing Villa Park, the weather clearly affected both sides in an underwhelming goalless first half although the Villains should have scored when Stuart Downing saw Pepe Reina stop a point-blank volley from four yards out. For the majority of the second half Liverpool were hanging on by their fingernails as Villa squandered chance after chance to score, and they suffered the killer sucker-punch in the 92nd minute as Agbonlahor saw a tackle send the ball straight into Fernando Torres’ path, and the Spaniard gobbled up his chance and slipped a low shot past Friedel into the far corner.
