It would have been easier for Aston Villa to have won the game against West Ham considering how many chances they created, a missed penalty, and a shockingly bad VAR decision that chalked off their late equaliser.

7-2. Aston Villa dismantled Liverpool in spectacular fashion at Villa Park on Sunday night. This is MOMS podcast's first impressions of a result that shocked the football world.This was a Liverpool team that have been crowned League Champions, European Champions and World Club Champions in the last couple of seasons. While the result is unlikely to have much affect on Liverpool's fortunes this season, it's a huge clue to how Villa could progress this term.With the team's attacking threat newly charged by the arrival of Ollie Watkins and Ross Barkley, who both have helped Jack Grealish to finally go through the gears at Villa, anything is possible. With Emiliano Martinez and Matty Cash strengthening further a better organised defence, the signs are positive for Dean Smith's men, who are now seven games unbeaten in the Premier League and 100% this season.Before we get ahead of ourselves though, let's reflect on an incredible game of football.UTVGET EXTRA SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want extra podcast shows
