MATCH QUOTES

"They are the best side we've played this season. “A very, very good side. "If I was an Aston Villa player and I'd lost 3-0 after playing Like that, I'd be very, very sick." Liverpool central defender Emlyn Hughes. "Best game we've had here in a long time. “We knew they were starting to tie the game up just before half-time but we thought if we could hold them in the first 20 minutes of the second half, we could do it." Kevin Keegan. “Liverpool deserved to win, but not by 3-0. “We wasted a lot of passes but we have learned from the game. “We lost 3-0 here last year but our performance today was 20 times better. “I still feel that with a bit of luck we'll win something this season." Ron Saunders.
