Aston Villa fans are all saying the same thing about Jhon Duran after the Colombian’s match-defining cameo against Liverpool on Monday night.
It was a dramatic night for Aston Villa against Liverpool, as Villa Park was treated to a six-goal thriller during Villa’s final home game of the 2023/24 campaign.
Just as Jurgen Klopp thought his last away game with the Reds was going to end in victory, up stepped Jhon Duran to level the scoring, netting two goals in just three minutes to earn a point.
From the second minute to the moments leading up to the 90th minute, it was constant entertainment on the pitch at Villa Park in a fixture that largely saw Villa fans disappointed.
Liverpool took the lead in the second minute courtesy of an Emi Martinez blunder, with the Argentine’s blushes spared by Youri Tielemans 10 minutes later.
Cody Gakpo and Jarell Quansah extended the visitors’ lead up until the 85th minute of play before Duran netted his brace to deny Klopp a win on his final away day.
In reaction to the Colombian’s dazzling cameo, many Villa fans flooded social media with their thoughts on the striker, let’s see what Aston Villa fans have been saying about Jhon Duran after his display against Liverpool…
