Liverpool rout Villa to close on United

Liverpool continued their remarkable recent form with a 5-0 rout of Aston Villa at Anfield on Sunday which takes them to within a point of faltering Premier League leaders Manchester United. Liverpool have scored 13 goals in their last three matches, beating Real Madrid 4-0 in the Champions League, United 4-1 last weekend at Old Trafford and now the latest demolition of fifth-placed Villa. Dirk Kuyt put them ahead in the eighth minute as he reacted quickly to fire home with Albert Riera scoring a superb second just after the half hour mark.
