Sensational Aston Villa Claims Stunning 7-2 Victory Over Liverpool
Ollie Watkins Bags Hat-Trick in Aston Villa's Triumph
Aston Villa Secured Second Place in Premier League After Historic Victory
In a match that will go down in Premier League history, Aston Villa produced a remarkable performance to thrash Liverpool 7-2. Ollie Watkins stole the show with a first-half hat-trick, propelling Villa to a stunning victory at Villa Park.
Watkins opened the scoring in the fourth minute with a close-range finish, before doubling Villa's lead just minutes later with a powerful header. Liverpool showed signs of life when Mohamed Salah pulled one back, but Watkins completed his hat-trick in the 39th minute to restore Villa's three-goal advantage.
The second half was equally dramatic, with Ross Barkley and Jack Grealish adding to Villa's tally. Sadio Mané reduced the deficit for Liverpool, but Conor Hourihane sealed the victory with a stunning free-kick in the dying minutes.
Aston Villa's emphatic win propelled them to second place in the Premier League, level on points with leaders Manchester United. Liverpool, meanwhile, suffered their heaviest defeat in the league since 1963, leaving them in fourth place.
Ollie Watkins' hat-trick was the first for Aston Villa in the Premier League since Peter Withe in 1981. The victory was also Villa's biggest over Liverpool since 1935 and the first time they had scored seven goals against the Reds in any competition.
