reLiverpool FC, the English soccer champions, suffered the biggest defeat in club history in a Premier League match after a disastrous performance. Team principal Jürgen Klopp’s team sank at Aston Villa 2: 7 (1: 4) on Sunday night and fell to fifth place in the table. The Reds last suffered a 7-2 loss in 1963 against Tottenham Hotspur, the Premier League has existed since 1992.
Ollie Watkins (4th / 22nd / 39th) with a hat trick and an assist and double packer Jack Grealish (66th / 75th), who also set up three goals, became the winner of the match at Villa. John McGinn (35th) and Ross Barkley (55th) rounded out the dream day for the Birmingham club, who rose to second place with their third win in their third game. Superstar Mohamed Salah (33rd, 60th) scored for the disappointing guests.
Liverpool goalkeeper Adrian started the first goal with a lurid bad pass in his own penalty area, as a result the guests’ defense was unusually vulnerable. With three goals the ball was also deflected.
Tottenham beat Manchester United
Star coach José Mourinho previously celebrated a clear victory at his former club, Manchester United, with Tottenham Hotspur. After a turbulent start with an early deficit, his Spurs topped the English soccer champions on Sunday at Old Trafford with 6: 1 (4: 1). Tottenham also benefited from a red card for the Red Devils, whose coach was Mourinho from 2016 to 2018. United had previously conceded six goals in a Premier League match against Southampton FC in 1996 and against city rivals, Manchester City, in 2011.
Host United got off to a better start and were awarded a 1 minute penalty, which Bruno Fernandes converted (second minute). But the Spurs changed the game quickly with goals from Tanguy Ndombele (4th) and Heung-Min Son (7th). Harry Kane (31st) scored for Tottenham after the referee sent Anthony Martial off the field for a round with red. In the second half, Son (37th), Serge Aurier (51st) and again Kane (79th / penalty) increased for the guests.
It was Tottenham’s fourth competitive game in eight days and the third this week. On Tuesday, the Londoners prevailed in the League Cup against Mourinho’s former club Chelsea. On Thursday, Spurs qualified for the Europa League group stage with a 7-2 win over Maccabi Haifa. Champions League contenders Man United prevailed in the League Cup on Wednesday at Brighton & Hove Albion.

The team surrounding the national goalkeeper Bernd Leno beat Sheffield United 2-1 (0-0) at their home stadium on Sunday. The Gunners, in which Mesut Özil was not part of the squad again, moved to a Champions League place in the table against Chelsea, at least for the moment. The Blues celebrated a 4-0 win over Crystal Palace on Saturday with national players Kai Havertz and Timo Werner.
Leicester City lost to West Ham United 0-3 (0-2) and thus suffered their first defeat of the season following a 5-2 win over Pep Guardiola and Manchester City. Wolverhampton Wanderers beat Fulham 1-0 (0-0). Southampton FC beat West Bromwich Albion 2-0 (1-0) at home.
