    Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool

    It's the first time since April 1963 Liverpool have conceded seven goals in a match (2-7 vs Spurs).

    They are the first top flight reigning champion to concede seven goals in a league match since Arsenal in September 1953 against Sunderland, who lost 7-1.

    I can't believe it - I don't know what I'm witnessing here. I'm going to give credit to Aston Villa, I'm not even going to talk about Liverpool's defending.

    It's a brilliant ball by John McGinn and it's a great finish from Jack Grealish. It's a clever, cheeky finish.

    Jack Grealish (75 mins)

    Seven! Seven-Two!

    Liverpool and Manchester United have shipped 13 goals in just a few hours!

    Ha ha ha ha! You have to laugh it makes no sense.

    Jack Grealish is clean through on goal from about 50 yards out again, that high line Clinton Morrison was on about. He runs in and just casually slots home.

    You know what we're not picking up on? The big gaps in Liverpool's defence - they are playing a high line. Jurgen Klopp will be concerned by the amount of times that Aston Villa have got it via not even brilliant runs, just straight runs.

    Are we done? We may as well get brackets out at this stage.

    Do you remember precedented times? We are truly in unprecedented days as we all know but this is the first time ever both Liverpool and Man Utd have conceded six goals on the same day.

    Liverpool players, the looks on their faces, they know the game is up for them now. They look like their heads have gone down.

    Surely offside - no! They play on and Ollie Wtakins is clean through on goal. Can he make it seven - no good save by Adrian!

    Aston Villa 6-2 Liverpool

    The first time I've live texted a 6-1, 6-2 since a Wimbledon shift. This is a crazy old night of Premier League football.

    And there's still 20 minutes remaining.

    Fans of Premier League clubs might not want to hear this but it's a better league with empty grounds, would never have had some of the results we've had so far.

    Phill, Liverpool

    All you can do is laugh, Jurgen Klopp is laughing. Three of the goals have been via deflections and on another day they wouldn't have gone in.

    But I've said it many times, if you don't shoot you don't score.

    James Milner is on to replace Roberto Firmino. If that's to lock up midfield it's about 58 minutes too late.

    Jack Grealish (66 mins)

    I, er, I - I just don't know what's happening any more! Aston Villa have a SIXTH goal!

    This one is a massive slice of luck as Jack Grealish shoots from the corner of the area, it takes a whacking great deflection off Fabinho and flies into the corner.

    Three assists and a goal for Grealish if he keeps that one.
