DOMINIK SZOBOSZLAI left Unai Emery “rattled” with a cheeky skill move in Liverpool’s win over Aston Villa.
The Reds ended their four-game losing run in the Premier League with a 2-0 victory at Anfield.
The Villans were pushing to try to get back into the contest in the closing stages as each second became more valuable.
In the 87th minute, Szoboszlai took advantage of the desperate visitors as he used his fleet of foot to kill a couple of seconds.
Emery had thown the ball back to get the game restarted only for Szoboszlai to drop it and appear to roll it back to him.
The quick-thinking Hungarian then pulled off a quick drag skill to keep the ball away from the Spaniard.

Emery, 53, did not look impressed as he tried to push Szoboszlai away from the ball.
Referee Stuart Attwell booked the Reds ace for delaying the restart of the game.
He also cautioned Emery for his reaction to the time-wasting Szoboszlai.
Fans were left in hysterics at what turned out to be a bizarre moment in the match.
