Aston Villa Shock Liverpool With Stunning 7-2 Victory

Watkins Hat-Trick and Grealish Masterclass Stun Champions

Aston Villa stunned Premier League champions Liverpool with a remarkable 7-2 victory at Villa Park on Sunday. Ollie Watkins scored a first-half hat-trick, while Jack Grealish was involved in five of Villa's goals.

The result leaves Villa with three wins from three games in the Premier League, while Liverpool have now lost two of their opening three matches. It is the first time that Liverpool have conceded seven goals in a Premier League game since 1963.

Lineups and Squads:

Aston Villa: Watkins (4, 22, 39), McGinn (35), Barkley (55), Grealish (66, 75) Liverpool: Adrian, Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum (43), Henderson (70), Thiago (50), Salah (54), Firmino (65), Mane (27)
