"It was top drawer," said Lambert, "I thought we were outstanding."

When asked about losing the two goal lead, Lambert said: "We should have been out of sight after that first half.

"But the way we played the game was fantastic. I thought we were brilliant."

Liverpool equalised when Brad Guzan appeared to foul striker Luis Suarez. Lambert said "I thought Brad Guzan pulled his arms away. I don't think it was a penalty."

Villa's win sends them into the top half of the Premier League.
