Ollie Watkins' Hat-Trick Powers Aston Villa to Stunning 7-2 Victory over Champions Liverpool
Aston Villa Surge to Second Place, Liverpool's Winless Run Extended
Aston Villa is going head to head with Liverpool starting on 13 May 2024 at 1900 UTC at Villa Park.
In a sensational display of attacking brilliance, Aston Villa demolished reigning champions Liverpool 7-2 at Villa Park, with Ollie Watkins bagging a perfect hat-trick.
Watkins' clinical finishing and Villa's relentless attacking pressure proved too much for a beleaguered Liverpool defense. The victory propelled Villa to second place in the Premier League standings, leapfrogging Manchester City.
For Liverpool, the defeat marked their fourth consecutive match without a win. Their defensive frailties were laid bare as they conceded seven goals for the first time since 1963.
Villa's victory was their fourth consecutive home triumph in the Premier League, a feat they last achieved in October 2007. The result leaves Liverpool with much to ponder as they prepare for a crucial Champions League semi-final clash against Real Madrid.
