Aston Villa won emphatically against the premier league champions as they made it three league wins in a row with a stunning 7-2 victory over Liverpool at Villa park.
Ollie Watkins scored a first half perfect hat trick. Salah’s 100th goal in English football was quickly extinguished as John McGinn’s fourth stunned the reds as they went 4-1 down at the break.
New loan signing, Ross Barkley, could have made the score line more embarrassing had he put the three golden chances he had in the first half.
However, he was not to be denied a fourth time as he and Jack Grealish further took the game away from Liverpool who were cut through time after time.
Salah had on 60th minutes – and just before Grealish’s first of two goals – scored his second, but it was captain and talisman Jack Grealish, who was to net again in what was a truly magical evening for the hosts.
It is the first time Liverpool, have conceded seven goals since a 7-2 league defeat at Tottenham in April 1963.
