Goals from Nathan Eccleston, Suso, Ryan McLaughlin and Michael Ngoo helped Liverpool Reserves to a brilliant 4-1 win over Aston Villa at Villa Park on Monday night.
Rodolfo Borrell's side gave an outstanding display and thoroughly deserved the victory as they handed Barclays Premier Reserve League South leaders Villa their first home defeat of the season.
Eccleston opened the scoring with a well taken finish after a great pass from Michael Roberts gave him an opening.
The No.9 then played a part in the second goal when his run and deflected shot found Suso at the back post who smashed the ball into the roof of the net.
Northern Ireland youth international McLaughlin made it 3-0 just after the break. He started the move with a brilliant run down the right-wing. He found Eccleston whose effort came back off the post before McLaughlin netted the rebound.
Villa then pulled a goal back from the penalty spot through Daniel Johnson after Conor Coady was harshly judged to have impeded Jack Grealish.
Substitute Michael Ngoo came off the bench to make it 4-1 after a superb break from Raheem Sterling. The winger could have scored himself but unselfishly found Ngoo who slotted home.
Sterling was a constant menace to the Villa defence and was unlucky not to score himself from two great efforts.
A delighted Borrell told Liverpoolfc.tv: "I am proud of the lads and it was a great win against a really good team on a fantastic Villa Park pitch.
"It was pleasing to see us score four goals and we were clinical tonight. We have been creating a lot of chances but struggling a bit to score so it was nice to see four different goalscorers.
"We have three very difficult fixtures left against West Bromwich Albion, Manchester United and Newcastle but we will go into the games with confidence and always give our best."
