Christian Benteke gave Villa the lead in the first half but Jordan Henderson equalised for the Liverpool two minutes after the break.

Steven Gerrard won it for Liverpool from the penalty spot on the hour mark but Villa manager Paul Lambert says he can’t fault his players’ effort:

Paolo Di Canio has emerged as the frontrunner to take over at Sunderland after Martin O’Neill was sacked yesterday.

It’s believed Di Canio will hold talks with Sunderland officials with a view to being formally appointed tomorrow.

Steve McClaren and Mark Hughes have also been linked with a move to the Stadium of Light.
