Reds keep up pressure
Liverpool kept up their pressure on Manchester United by beating Aston Villa 3-0 at
Anfield. Sammy Lee was preferred to Ronnie Whelan and Kevin MacDonald continued in place
of the injured Steve McMahon.
The Reds made a perfect start with a goal after only two minutes. Bradley's foul on
Rush gave Liverpool a free-kick just on the edge of the area and Spink, expecting a
rocket, was fooled completely as Jan Molby chipped the ball accurately into the opposite
corner.
The home side continued to press until the interval with Villa dangerous on rare
occasions. Much of Liverpool's approach work after the interval was brilliant with
Johnston in great form.
At 67 minutes, Villa substituted Stainrod, bringing on Shaw and Liverpool scored
immediately afterwards. A splendid pass by Molby set Walsh free on the left and the nimble
striker cut inside before beating Spink with a fine low shot, for his 11th goal in as many
games.
Molby and Walsh were involved in the third goal, nine minutes from the end, which
saw Johnston round off a typical all-action performance with a cracking right-foot shot.
