Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn admits Liverpool's players were arguing with eachother in the first-half of Sunday's defeat.

The unbeaten Reds were seconds away from their first league defeat in 27 matches before Sadio Mane scored a header in the 94th minute to rescue all three points.

"A lot of their players were arguing and you could tell they were uncomfortable in the first half," McGinn said.

"When teams start arguing with each other you normally know you've got them but at the same time you have to respect they are such a good team, they just regroup, get together and go again.

"They are relentless. It was the same with Man City last week, they just drain you mentally. You try your best to press them but they are top teams and full credit to them."
