7-2! An extraordinary night at Villa Park

The Athletic's Gregg Evans joins Dan Bardell to reflect on the Villa's historic 7-2 victory over Liverpool.

They ask whether it could be considered the greatest Aston Villa performance of all time. Is Jack Grealish the best attacking player in the Premier League right now? And just how did Dean Smith's team make the champions look so bad?

They also review Aston Villa's business in the transfer market as the window closes. Should it be considered a success after such a great start to the season? Or are there still some concerning holes in the squad?
