On Sunday evening, in the last matches of the fourth round of the English Premier League, a very sensational result was recorded. Last season, struggling for survival in the league, "Aston Villa" at home crushed the country's champions "Liverpool" players with a score of 7:2. The hosts took the lead already in the 4th minute after Ollie Watkins' goal. The same Englishman doubled his team's lead in the 22nd minute. In the 33rd minute, Mohamed Salah reduced the deficit for "Liverpool" and it seemed that the guests would take the initiative, but just a few minutes later John McGinn restored Aston Villa's advantage with a two-goal lead. To make matters worse, in the 39th minute O. Watkins completed his hat-trick and at half-time, the hosts were leading 4:1. After the break, "Aston Villa" did not stop and in the 55th minute, the team's newcomer Ross Barkley scored a goal. M. Salah scored his second goal and his team's second goal in the 60th minute, but "Aston Villa" captain Jack Grealish responded with two accurate strikes in the 66th and 75th minutes. After this victory, "Aston Villa" climbed to second place in the league table.
