Villa hammer reigning champions Liverpool to record their biggest league win since beating Wimbledon 7-1 in February 1995.

Midfielder Ross Barkley made a goalscoring debut aged 26 after joining on a season long loan from Chelsea earlier this week to become the 950th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

Ollie Watkins became the first Villa player to hit a top flight hat-trick since Christian Benteke against Queens Park Rangers in April 2015. Watkins' hat-trick came in just his 6th game for the club (4 Starts) to give Watkins a record of W5 D0 L1, 5 Goals. 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.

Jack Grealish contributes his 60th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 190th appearance (143 Starts) to make it W74 D39 L77, 29 Goals, 31 Assists, 29 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career. Grealish had achieved 10 goal involvements in 62 appearances (35 Starts), his second ten had come in 41 appearances (25 Starts), his third in 31 appearances (29 Starts), his fourth in 19 appearances (17 Starts), fifth in 16 appearances (16 Starts) and his sixth has come in 21 appearances (21 Starts).

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

Douglas Luiz collects his 10th booking on his 46th appearance for the club (37 Starts).

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