He doubled Aston Villa's lead in the 22nd minute with a stunning strike from the edge of the box. Watkins completed his hat-trick in the 39th minute with a glancing header, leaving Liverpool's defense helpless.
Aston Villa continued to dominate the game in the second half, scoring four more goals to seal the victory. Grealish, Ross Barkley, Anwar El Ghazi, and Douglas Luiz all found the net, showcasing the depth and quality of Aston Villa's squad.
Liverpool's goals came through Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, but they were mere consolations on a disappointing day for the Reds. The result marks Aston Villa's most significant victory over Liverpool since 1975 and sends a clear message that they are a force to be reckoned with in the Premier League.
