Harvey Elliott's Historic EFL Cup Debut
Liverpool Youngsters Suffer Heavy Defeat
Villa Thrash Liverpool 5-0
In a historic night for teenager Harvey Elliott, Aston Villa thrashed Liverpool's youngsters 5-0 in the EFL Cup. Elliott, making his first EFL Cup appearance, became the youngest player to feature in the competition. The 16-year-old was forced to change away from the main dressing room due to his age.
Villa took the lead through Jonathan Kodjia's penalty, awarded after Morgan Boyes fouled the striker. Keinan Davis doubled the lead before halftime, and Villa continued their dominance in the second half. Conor Hourihane, Ahmed El Ghazi, and Jota added to the scoreline to complete the rout.
Liverpool's young team, fielding several debutants, struggled to cope with Villa's experience and attacking threat. The result highlights the strength of Villa's squad and raises questions about Liverpool's depth.
