Some Aston Villa fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Douglas Luiz against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Luiz was in action for Villa in their Premier League game against Liverpool away from home at Anfield.

The 22-year-old central midfielder had a very good game on a personal level, as the former Manchester City prospect held his own against the Reds’ players and was always ready to do something.

According to WhoScored, the Brazil international took one shot which was on target, had a pass accuracy of 61.8%, won one header, took 52 touches, played one key pass, made one tackle, four interceptions and one clearance, and put in two crosses.

So far this season, Luiz has made 23 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for Villa so far this season, scoring three goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Some Villa fans were impressed with the display produced by Luiz – who moved to the Villans in the summer of 2019 – against Liverpool and have raved about him on Twitter.

Below are some of the best comments:
