Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp has revealed why his side were beaten 7-2 by Aston Villa in the English Premier League on Sunday.

A mistake from Liverpool’s second goalkeeper, Adrian, gave Ollie Watkins the first goal of the game.

Watkins went on to complete a hat-trick in the first half.

“The first goal had an impact, but it shouldn’t. Adrian made a mistake but we conceded goals like this in the past. We lost the plot then,” Klopp told Sky Sports.

“When Aston Villa won the ball, our protection was under average.”

After the break, Aston Villa extended their lead with goals from from John McGinn, Ross Barkley and a double from Jack Grealish.

“We had still good moments but our good moments led to nothing and their good moments always led to a chance or a goal.

“They were flying and we were pretty open. All the things you should not do in a football game, we did tonight,” Klopp added.

Liverpool will now prepare to face Everton in a derby match after the international break.
