Aston Villa 0 Liverpool 0

Aston Villa and Liverpool picked up their first points of the season in an entertaining but fruitless draw at Villa Park this afternoon.

The goalkeepers had plenty of work and made some outstanding saves as both sides created numerous chances, with Liverpool's new forward Harry Kewell guilty of a glaring miss in the 10th minute.

Villa were marginally the better side and unlucky when Colombian Juan Pablo Angel's curling free kick on the hour came back off the top of Jerzy Dudek's near post.
