'Agent Ross Barkley' - Chelsea fans react as Aston Villa hit Liverpool for seven

Chelsea fans have been revelling in Liverpool's disappointment this evening.

Another crazy day of Premier League football has ended with perhaps the most surprising result yet with Aston Villa - armed with Chelsea midfielder Ross Barkley, who scored in the match - beating reigning champions Liverpool 7-2.

The result means Aston Villa keep their 100% record, only Everton managing the same feat from all 20 Premier League teams.

Liverpool were, and still are, favourites to lift the Premier League title again this season, so any slip-up is being celebrated by fans of any other club with hope of becoming champions this season.
