ASTON VILLA’S kids gave Jurgen Klopp’s side a real scare before they were shot down in a ruthless five-minute blast.
Goals from Georginio Wijnaldum, Mo Salah, and a Sadio Mane brace got the job done with three goals in the second half.
Villa turned in a great display and gave Klopp plenty to think about by punching way above their weight and going in level at half-time.
James Milner probably owns socks older than most of the kids Villa sent out on this FA Cup mercy mission.
Seven teenagers including a 16-year old in the starting line-up didn’t bode well for Covid-ravaged Villa.
Manager Dean Smith and all his first-team stars watching in isolation at home must have feared the worst as Villa’s youngsters stepped out without one minute’s first-team experience against a strong Liverpool side.
Many of them weren’t even born when former Villa star Milner made his debut for Leeds as a 16-year-old back in 2002.
