"La mano de un Grealish magistral" has a nice ring to it!

This is pure comedy gold. Not expecting that was you mate! 😂 https://youtu.be/RFLWDorG-mg

Funny how it rapidly goes downhill form ripping the piss out of Utd and especially when he keeps repeating "seven, seven, seven" and then goes very very quiet.  But kudos to the chap for giving Villa credit for the performance.

That's the difference. A glory hunter can never really feel the joy or the pain as they know deep deep down its fake.

Marvellous. Biggest thing for me was that Man U losing 1-6 to Spurs wasn’t the biggest story of the day. UTV!!

[Matt C]

Incredible day and a result we’ll talk about for a generation. We’ll have bumps in the road but two years ago we were losing meekly to Millwall, we’ve made incredible strides in such a short space of time. UTV.

Got up at 4:30am, bit early for kick off. Momentarily it crossed my mind getting out of bed, why I should bother?

Glad Dean Smith and co answered that emphatically. Credit to all involved.

Bloody daylight savings... by the time I woke up and got a river organised, it was 75 mins into the game. They didn't score another goal. Smith out!

Pre-match the commentator mentioned that Spuds had won 6-1 against ManUtd and that's the score Liverpool beat us by when we were relegated, hinting it may happen again....

We'll stick that in your pipe.

My Liverpool supporting mates are having it ripped out of them for fucking weeks now. Hahaha!

I got a bit pissed, fell asleep on the sofa and just woke up with the re-run on.. May stay up another hour and watch it again!

From the Beeb .

Aston Villa have won their opening three league games to a season for the first time since the 1962-63 campaign.

This was the first time Liverpool have conceded seven goals in a match in all competitions since April 1963 in a 7-2 league defeat at Tottenham, while it was the second time Aston Villa have netted seven times in a single Premier League game, after a 7-1 win over Wimbledon in February 1995.

Liverpool are the first reigning English top-flight champions to ship seven goals in a league match since Arsenal against Sunderland in September 1953.

Aston Villa have won four consecutive home Premier League matches for the first time since October 2007.

Liverpool's 11 goals conceded is their most after four games of a league season since 1937-38 (also 11).

Since the start of last season, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins has scored more league goals than any other player in England's top four tiers (29, including play-offs).

Watkins was the 10th player to score a Premier League hat-trick against Liverpool, and the first since Dimitar Berbatov in September 2010.

Jack Grealish is only the second Aston Villa player to assist three goals in a single Premier League game, after James Milner v Burnley in February 2010.

Mohamed Salah has now scored against 25 of the 26 sides he has appeared against in the Premier League for Liverpool (96%) - the best ratio of any player in the competition for the club.

I just watched the game again. Advantage of being in North America. What I liked is we went to score more. 10 would have been fair. 12 generous. Never seen that before and I was at the Wimbledon game

[LukeJames]

Is this the biggest result in Premier League history, possibly European football history? I dont mean score wise, I mean for what it was, team avoiding relegation on last game of the season vs runaway Champions, best defence etc. They were without a doubt ine of the best teams in the world last season.

Put into context Celta Vigo beating Real Madrid 7-2.

Augsburg beating Bayern Munich 7-2.

Genoa beating Juventus 7-2.

I'm more shocked now than when I was watching the game.

[Perthvillan]

Well that was certainly worth getting up for at 3am.
I still can't really believe what I saw.
What a difference Barkley (he could have had a hat-trick himself) made with his driving runs at their defence.
In a great tandem with Jack.
Every one worked their bollocks off, great to see.
I can't wait to get home to watch the game again.
It's got to be our greatest win since I've been a fan (1967) allowing for the so-called quality of opposition.

[LukeJames]

Results a bit tainted for me as the Tanzanian Villains werent around to witness it.
