Hello. Thanks forjoining us. We start with an absolutes Roller Coaster of a game in the Premier League as Aston Villaed moved a step closer to booking their place at europes top table. They drew 3 3 at villa park against liverpool to boost their hopes but really had to do it the hard way. They looked to be leaving the door open for rivals tottenham as they trailed 3 1 with five minutes left but two goals in three minutes from john dourian snatched an unlikely draw. Theres no possible worse stand the for villa as a martinez howler of an own goal saw them go 1 0 down after three minutes. They equalised 10 minutes later but two goals Saw Liverpool in the driving seat. That was until the dramatic comeback, much to the enjoyment of their club captain.

Weve floated under the radar nicely, even in game week 35, 36, people are like, oh, can villa do it . Can they not . Hopefu
