Liverpool's disastrous title defence hit a new low on Friday night as they were thumped by Champions League-bound Aston Villa to put their own hopes of qualification in jeopardy. The Reds were tormented by Ollie Watkins throughout, with the striker bagging a brace and laying on another. The 4-2 defeat leaves Arne Slot's side fifth in the Premier League, four points clear of Bournemouth in sixth having played a game more.
