Liverpool went on a stardom - fell 2-7

After the final whistle, Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp applauded and approached Aston Villa coach Dean Smith, who now has three straight initial victories, and greeted him with a bang.

"This is the first time I have written 6-1.6-2 since Wimbledon," wrote the BBC's live reporter after captain Jack Grealish shot 6-2 via Liverpool's Fabinho, which put goalkeeper Adrian.

Grealish pointed six fingers in the air as he celebrated the goal.

Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp smiled awkwardly at the humiliation.

Aston Villas Ollie Watkins managed to miss a clean free kick, had to settle for three goals, before Grealish struck again and free put 7-2 and could show as many fingers.

However, it was a long way to the club record for the worst loss.

In 1954, Liverpool, then in the second division, lost to Birmingham 1-9.

Last season, Liverpool conceded 33 goals in 38 games.

Now it became seven in one.
