[HiTLeR]

 

Perhaps the most pessimistic of Liverpool fans did not know what happened in London, Sunday, when their champions league team lost to Aston Villa with seven in the fourth stage of the English Premier League.

Liverpool started the match badly at the "Villa Park" stadium and gave a pass from goalkeeper Adrian, who replaced Brazilian Alison Baker with a shoulder injury, and Atkins first goal very early in the fourth minute.

 

And if luck stood behind Watkins' first goal in a Villa shirt, the second was the result of a wonderful effort by the striker, who rushed to the center of the field, before he fired in the upper corner to make the score 2-0 in the 22nd minute.

 

It seemed that Liverpool returned to the atmosphere of the match after a goal from Salah with a good left-foot shot in the 33rd minute, but a shot by John McGinn changed its direction after two minutes, to restore Villa's advantage by two goals.

 

Watkins completed his hat-trick in the 39th minute, and former Everton player Ross Barkley, who was playing his first match with Villa after joining on loan from Chelsea, made it 5-1 after 10 minutes of the second half.

 

Salah restored hope to the defending champion in the 60th minute before Jack Grealish scored two goals near the end, completing an unforgettable victory for the team that narrowly avoided relegation last season.
