Premiership giants Liverpool have ended their loosing run after defeating Aston Villa 4-3 in a Worthington Cup tie thus booking a place in the semi-finals, thanks to Danny Murphy's late-minute winner.
Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier hailed his team for their strong fighting spirit and was very happy with the victory.
Liverpool who had lost a total of 5 matches in a row were very happy to put their loosing run behind them.
Aston Villa had skipper Steve Staunton down with ankle injury and Ronny Johnsen with hamstring injury and these seemed a minus to them despite coming from 3-1 to procure an equaliser only for Murphy to terminate their confidence with a late-minute strike.
