Adding to the upsets, Leicester City, who had a 100 percent record from the opening three games, were beaten 3-0 at home by West Ham United.

While Spurs’ win at Old Trafford against a United side reduced to 10 men in the first half was the joint worst defeat in the Premier League era for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team, even that remarkable result was overshadowed by the scale of Liverpool’s defeat.

“All the things you should not do in football we did tonight,” said Liverpool manager Juergen Klopp, who added his team had “lost the plot”.

A stunning first-half hat-trick from Ollie Watkins helped end the champions’ winning start to the season in extraordinary fashion.

Liverpool started badly at Villa Park as a poor pass from goalkeeper Adrian -- deputising for the visitors for Alisson after the Brazilian picked up a shoulder injury -- gifted Watkins the opener in the fourth minute.

While there was good fortune about Watkins’ first goal in a Villa shirt, his second was pure quality as he cut inside before firing into the top corner to make it 2-0 in the 22nd minute.

Mohamed Salah’s excellent finish looked to have got Liverpool back in the game in the 33rd, but John McGinn’s deflected effort two minutes later restored Villa’s two-goal advantage.

Watkins completed his hat-trick inside 39 minutes, with former Everton midfielder Ross Barkley -- on his debut after joining Villa on loan -- making it five, 10 minutes into the second half.
