On This Day
Villa's stuttering start to the season continues as they follow a win and a draw with defeat at Anfield as Liverpool's trademark ugly football wins out against their more stylish opposition. The points go north however and that's all that really counts as the Anfielders hit two in two early first half minutes.
Last season's runners up sit joint 9th as a result
