Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has hailed Aston Villa duo Ollie Watkins and Jack Grealish on Sky Sports.

Villa beat Liverpool 7-2 in one of the biggest shock results in Premier League history yesterday, and Dean Smith’s side were well worthy of their victory.

Villa created chance after chance against Klopp’s Premier League champions, with their attacking players causing all sorts of problems.

Watkins bagged a hat-trick during the contest, while Grealish got a brace.

And the Liverpool boss hailed that Villa duo after the contest.

“All the credit to Villa. Watkins was for us tonight undefendable,” Klopp said.

“He could keep all the balls, he didn’t only score goals, he caused problems everywhere.

“And Grealish, of course, what a footballer! When he gets the ball in a one on one situation he can go inside and it’s a big chance.”

Villa’s win means that they have now taken maximum points from their first three games of the season.

The claret and blues appear to have made vast improvements this term, and there is great optimism about the season ahead at Villa Park now.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are facing big question marks over their defence.

The Reds dominated last term, but they have already conceded 11 goals in just four games this season, which has to be a cause for concern.
