Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp scoffs at suggestion of Premier League All-Star game

Jacob Ramsey fired Aston Villa to a vital 1-0 win over Southampton.

The midfielder’s first goal of the season lifted Villa to 13th, level on points with their visitors, and eased any pressure on manager Steven Gerrard.

The hosts built on their point against Manchester City with a workmanlike, if not fluid, display although, in reality, it did little to ease long-term fears of their direction in the Premier League.

It was a forgettable game between two sides still searching for a consistent identity and the Saints slipped to a third defeat in four games to leave legitimate questions over the future of boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Villa are commiting more players forward for their attacks as they sense a second goal which could take the game away from Southampton.

Southampton are slowing the game down to try and get a foothold in the match. They cannot find a way through the Villa players at the moment despite their half-time changes.

CHANCE! Bailey sends a cross to the back post where Watkins heads the ball to Mings in the six-yard box. Mings lays off Ramsey in a good position but Bella-Kotchap blocks his goal-bound shot.
