Liverpool: Jurgen Klopp reacts to 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa
Liverpool FC manager Jurgen Klopp says Liverpool created the "wrong type" of history as they were thrashed by Aston Villa.
The mighty Reds lost 7-2 away at Aston Villa and are the first reigning champions to concede seven goals in a league game since Sunderland beat Arsenal 7-1 in September 1953.
Villa player Ollie Watkins scored a hat-trick and Jack Grealish played his part in five goals as Aston Villa inflicted Liverpool's fourth league loss since January 2019.
"It looked like we lost the plot after it went to 1-0," Klopp said.
Egyptain winger Mohamed Salah scored Liverpool's two goals - to make it 2-1 and 5-2 - but they were found out by Dean Smith's side at Villa Park.
"Who wants to lose 7-2?" Klopp said. "Years ago we told ourselves we wanted to create history. That was history but obviously the wrong type.
"We had big chances which we did not use, but when you concede seven I'm not sure you can say it would have been 7-7.
"We made too many mistakes and massive ones obviously. It started with the first goal and around the goals we made massive mistakes.
"We lost balls in the wrong area and did not protect properly. It looked like we lost the plot after it went to 1-0. It is not an excuse.
"Normally you can be 1-0 down and do the stuff you want to do. We created but did not protect ourselves properly so each ball we lost was a massive counter attack.
"That is why we conceded and three goals were deflected. It's unlucky but it is not a coincidence because it means it was not a proper block. There is nobody to blame apart from me and us."

Liverpool
Liverpool can become the first team in top-flight history to win each of their
opening four league games in three consecutive seasons. The mighty Reds have
attempted 61 shots in their three premier league games this season - 17 more
than any other side prior to the weekend's fixtures. Sadio Mane has scored six
goals in as many Premier League appearances against Aston Villa. This includes
the fastest ever Premier League hat-trick of two minutes and 56 seconds while
playing for Southampton in May 2015. Andy Robertson has provided a goal or
assist in seven of his past eight league appearances for Liverpool, only failing
to do so against Chelsea in this run.
