Villa ruins Liverpool in Anfield
Aston Villa ended Liverpool's 31-match unbeaten home league record with a deserved 3-1 victory at Anfield.
They were two ahead at the break through a Lucas own goal, and a Curtis Davies header seconds from the whistle.
Fernando Torres pulled one back from close range, but an Ashley Young penalty soon after claimed the Midlanders' first win at Anfield since 2001.
Villa boss Martin O'Neill told ESPN after the game: "I'm delighted with the performance, I couldn't be more pleased.
"We put absolutely everything into the game, not just effort but skill and ability.
"We had a sluggish start on the opening day and to come and win here against maybe one of the championship favourites was a terrific effort.
"At 2-0 we seemed in reasonable command of the game, it goes to 2-1 and so we had to react pretty quickly. We got a goal through the penalty - and it was a penalty - and got ourselves back in again. We deserved to win."
