TOM HANKS was in town to see his beloved Aston Villa try to secure a Champions League place – but Liverpool held on to deny them a Hollywood finish.
Jhon Duran’s late double earned Unai Emery’s men a point which could be crucial in their quest to join Europe’s elite next season.

The silver screen icon flew in to watch but an own goal from keeper Emi Martinez was added to by Cody Gakpo and Jarell Quansah as it looked to be a wasted trip from Tinseltown.
Youri Tielemans had got an earlier equaliser before Duran arrived into the game and sparked the late fightback.
