Liverpool wrote the wrong story by allowing Aston Villa to crush them 7: 2 in the Premier League, according to the Reds coach Jurgen Klopp.
The Reds lost 7: 2, becoming the first reigning champions to concede seven goals in a league match since Sunderland beat Arsenal 7-1 in September 1953.
Ollie Watkins scored the hat-trick and Jack Grealish had a hand in five goals to help Villa cause Liverpool their fourth loss in the league since January 2019.
“It looked like we lost the ball after (Villa) took a 1-0 lead,” Klopp told BBC Sport.
Liverpool won the first title after 30 years last season, leaving 18 points behind rival Manchester City.
But this season things have not started so well for Klopp’s team.
“Who wants to lose 7: 2? Years ago we told ourselves we wanted to make history. Tonight was a story, but of the wrong kind.” he added.
“We had great chances which we did not use, but when you concede seven goals I am not sure you could say it could have been 7: 7.” he said.
