Local hero Jack Greenish inspired the people of Birmingham for the feat
English champion “Liverpool” suffered a humiliating defeat in an evening that will be remembered for a long time. Jurgen Klopp’s team collapsed in Birmingham and was defeated 2: 7 during their visit to “Aston Villa”.
The club recorded a glorious page in its history and was able to beat its famous rival with an even greater result. For the first time since 1953, the reigning English champions conceded seven goals.
There was another defeat on Sunday, as “Tottenham” won 6: 1 on their visit to “Manchester United”.
Aston Villa star Jack Greenish played a key role in the success, scoring two goals and passing through three more. A hat-trick for the team was scored by newcomer Olli Watkins, and Josh McGinn and Ross Barkley each scored once. Mohamed Salah scored the Liverpool goals.
The loss was the first for the Merseysiders this season, while Aston Villa achieved its third success in its first three games. Birmingham and Everton are the only teams with a full set of points in the Premier League.

Liverpool players were disappointed in their performance
The match started horribly for Liverpool, who fell behind in the fourth minute. Goalkeeper Adrian, who replaced the injured Alison Becker, made a mistake on his pass to Joe Gomez. Grillish took and passed Watkins, and the forward was right.
In the 22nd minute, the same combination resulted in a second goal for “Aston Villa”. Watkins moved to the left, entered and fired diagonally. Liverpool responded with a goal from Salah, but the afternoon was reserved for Aston Villa.
McGinn shot from the edge of the box as the ball entered the goal after a rebound off Virgil van Dyke. At the end of the first half, Watkins scored his hat trick.
The hosts continued their good game in the second half. A combination between Greelish and Barkley ended with a shot from the latter, as the ball changed trajectory after touching the feet of Trent Alexander-Arnol and lying to Adrian.
Salah then scored his second goal of the match and Greenish scored twice to shape the final score. In the end, Aston Villa hit a crossbar and was able to increase his lead.
