Ross Barkley was one of the stars on display, as Aston Villa defeated Liverpool 7-2.
The result has been the biggest shocker of the season so far, and Villa new boy Ross Barkley, who joined the Villans on loan from Chelsea, helped navigate a great win for his side.
After the game, an elated Barkley, who seems to have settled with his new teammates very quickly, posted on social media: “What a team performance that was, enjoyed every minute of it! Just the start… Well played boys! @AVFCOfficial”
Meanwhile, Barkley had revealed that he left Chelsea for Aston Villa because he hasn’t played often enough at Stamford Bridge in the last couple of years.
“The last couple of years I’ve been stop-start, performing well and then being out of the team,” Barkley told the official Aston Villa website after completing his loan move.
“To come here and have the chance to play and perform regularly is a big thing for me. With the Euros at the end of the season, it’s a big target for me and hopefully I can be there.
“Dean Smith swayed me with the way he spoke to me, and it looks like it’s going to be an exciting season.”
