Loads of Aston Villa fans have been lauding summer signing Trezeguet for his “outstanding” performance against Liverpool on Saturday, as the £8.75million arrival opened his account in a 2-1 defeat.

Trezeguet made his seventh start in the Premier League against Jurgen Klopp’s title-chasing Reds, and gave the German cause for concern in the 21st-minute by handing the Villans a well-deserved lead.

The Egyptian forward volleyed home at the back post midway through the first-half, after John McGinn delivered a teasing free-kick into the box which Liverpool’s defenders failed to deal with as he was left unchallenged to score.

A mistake by Trent Alexander-Arnold could have gifted Trezeguet his second in the closing stages, too, but the 25-year-old could not beat Virgil van Dijk after pouncing on an error by the England right-back.

Andy Roberston pulled the Anfield outfit level not long after, and Villa were left heartbroken in stoppage-time when Sadio Mane fired a low header home.

Fans have been lauding Trezeguet for his performance despite the end result, though, with many impressed by the former Kasimpasa man’s efforts against the unbeaten Premier League leaders.

As well as his goal, Trezeguet attempted 13 passes, nine of which came in the final third, along with five attempted dribbles, two successful tackles, two interceptions, four blocks, and was dispossessed by an opponent just once, per WhoScored data.
