Andoni Iraola handed £157m solution after Liverpool ‘mistake after mistake’
Georges Mikautadze scored in just the fourth minute to put Villarreal ahead, before Sergi Cardona got a second just before the half-hour mark. Liverpool did pull themselves level before half-time thanks to goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Ronald Araujo.
They completed the turnaround in the second half as Mac Allister scored again, and Florian Wirtz extended their lead. Villarreal did, though, make it a nervy finish as Tani Oluwaseyi scored with just three minutes remaining.
