Not only did Aston Villa made Liverpool walk alone, they utterly destroyed Jurgen Klopp’s men in what will go down as one of the most remarkable nights in the history of Aston Villa.
Aston Villa made Liverpool erased the anguish and sorrow suffered by Manchester United earlier in the day as Dean Smith’s men annihilated the Premier League champions 7-2 at Villa Park.
Ollie Watkins was the star performer on the night as the £30m striker bagged a hattrick on the night.
Jack Grealish was also on the score sheet as Dean Smith’s men recorded their third League win of the season.
Here are some records to take note of;
If Liverpool players were to be court- marshalled for such an embarassing and disgraceful performance, then Mohammed Salah might be spared for scoring Liverpool’s goals on the night.
Liverpool are now the first reigning English top-flight champions to ship seven goals in a league match since Arsenal against Sunderland in September 1953.
The Reds also conceded 7 goals for the first time since 1963 when they lost 7-2 to Tottenham Hotspur
Liverpool and Manchester United conceded six goals on the same match day for the first time in their history.
Ollie Watkins becomes the 10th player to score a League hat-trick against Liverpool. He is also the first player to do so against the Reds since Dimitar Berbatov in September 2010.
