As shock results go, Liverpool's humiliating 7-2 defeat by Aston Villa - a team who only avoided relegation on the final day of last season - must be right up there near the very top.
After looking almost superhuman for most of the previous campaign, Jurgen Klopp's players were handed a reality check of the highest order last Sunday night as Ollie Watkins and Co repeatedly tore through them to devastating effect.
Despite enjoying just 30 per cent possession, Villa managed 18 efforts at goal with 11 of those on target.
