ON THIS DAY
Paul Lambert's Villa make it five Premier League games unbeaten in a performance that is as extraordinary as it was unexpected.
Given what had gone before under Lambert this season a trip to Anfield held particular foreboding but a Christian Benteke inspired Villa, as Brett Holman also continued his good recent form, saw Villa score more goals in 51' than they had in their previous five Premier League games.
What made the performance all the more remarkable was the fact that the side fielded was the youngest in the Premier League this season averaging 23 years, 309 days old.
Villa had now won four of seventeen Premier League games under Lambert and rose to a three month high of 14th place in the table yet they were still just three points off the relegation places.
