Villarreal pile the pressure on Liverpool with vital second goal

Villarreal pile the pressure on Liverpool with vital second goal

Villarreal equalised on aggregate, scoring their second goal just before half-time against Liverpool from Francis Coquelin.

Liverpool went into the Champions League semi-final second leg with a two-goal lead, but they’ve been pegged back by Villarreal through two first-half goals.

Etienne Capoue floated a ball into the box, and Coquelin climbed above Trent Alexander-Arnold to bury a header into the Liverpool goal.
