In a day of suprises at the Premier League, the defending champioms, Liverpool, could not explain what struck them. They were humiliated by Aston Villa 7-2.
Earlier in the day, Manchester United was taught football lesson at Old Trafford by the Jose Mourinho tutored Tottenhan Hotspurs, which hit them 6-1.
England’s top flight simply must be considered the best league in the world because there’s been enough thrills and spills during the 2020/21 campaign to fill an entire calendar year.
Aston Villa, which survived relegation to the Championship by a nose-hair last season, were fired into an early advantage by two goals from Ollie Watkins.
Mohamed Salah pulled a goal back for Liverpool before half-time.
However, that couldn’t have been further from the truth as John McGinn immediately restored Villa’s two-goal advantage, before Watkins astonishingly helped himself to a first-half hat-trick.
The Birmingham club were roundly criticised for spending over £30 million on a Championship forward, but it’s fair to say that smashing a treble against Jurgen Klopp’s side repays that fee.
