He Aston Villa, from the hand of the surprising Ollie Watkins, who made a hat trick, thrashed 2-7 to the champion, the Liverpool, in a disastrous match for those of Jurgen Klopp, which surpassed the six goals that Manchester United conceded against Tottenham Hotspur this Sunday.
A clamorous error by Adrián San Miguel, started by the injured Alisson Becker, precipitated the first goal of the ‘villains’ when the Spaniard made a mistake taking the ball, he handed it to Jack Grealish and he left it on a tray to Watkins, who he opened his scoring account.
The Englishman achieved the double when, in a play down the left wing, he cut to the inside and signed a cross shot to a square.
Liverpool recovered thanks to a goal from Mohamed Salah, who has five in the Premier this season, but Villa still had time before the break to make it 4-1.
McGinn fired a shot from the front end of a corner so fortunately that the ball bounced off Van Dijk and he was poisoned on his way to the net.
Liverpool’s dismissal was such that four minutes later Villa took advantage of a set piece to extend the win. In a rehearsed play, the ball went to the far post, there Trezeguet hung it and Watnkins appeared only to push it into an empty goal.
Klopp tried to fix the mess with the entry of Takumi Minamino at half-time, but Villa was still in a trance and Ross Barkley, who made his debut after arriving on loan from Chelsea, tried with a shot from the front that touched Robertson and surpassed Adrián.
Although Liverpool tried to return to the game with Salah’s 5-2, who defined perfect in front of Emiliano Martínez, Grealish, the Villa captain, made the sixth and seventh for his team.
This defeat marks the first time in history that the defending champion in the Premier era conceded seven goals and the first time Liverpool have been scored so many since 1963, when they fell 2-7 with Tottenham..
With this triumph, Villa rises to second position in the table with three wins in two games and Liverpool remains fifth, with nine units. The puncture of City with Leeds United causes the ‘Reds’ to maintain a five lead with Manchester City, which has one game less.
