A remarkable performance from Aston Villa saw them thrash Liverpool 7-2 at Villa Park on Sunday, with Ollie Watkins firing an unstoppable hat-trick in the opening half. Jack Grealish also starred for Villa, having a hand in five of their goals.

Watkins opened the scoring in the 4th minute with a clinical finish, and he doubled Villa's advantage just eight minutes later with a stunning strike from outside the box. His hat-trick was complete in the 37th minute when he converted a penalty after Grealish was fouled by Virgil van Dijk.

Liverpool, the reigning Premier League champions, pulled one back through Mohamed Salah just before halftime, but Villa continued their dominance in the second half. Ross Barkley made it 4-1 in the 55th minute, and Grealish added Villa's fifth with a fine solo effort in the 66th minute.

Salah scored again for Liverpool in the 67th minute, but Villa responded with two more goals in the final 10 minutes. Jota slotted home in the 81st minute, and Barkley rounded off the scoring in the 88th minute to seal an unforgettable victory for Villa.

This result sees Villa move up to second place in the Premier League standings, while Liverpool drop to fifth. It was an extraordinary performance from Villa, who played with incredible intensity and purpose. Watkins' hat-trick was the icing on the cake, and Grealish's influence on the game was immense.

The victory is a major statement from Villa, who are showing that they are a team to be taken seriously this season. Liverpool, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back quickly when they face Manchester City next weekend.
