We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Here are some of your comments:

Vardon: At times it was like watching a game of park football. At others, a game full of sublime skill and vision from both teams. An absolutely engrossing 90-minute spectacle. Darwin Nunez should have had a hat-trick, but by the end of the game Liverpool fans couldn't care less. Arne Slot has breathed new life into the squad, and Ryan Gravenberch has come of age.

Marilyn: Another mature and confident exhibition of a really together team. I love it when we hunt in groups of two and three, determined to get the ball back and turn defence into another blistering attack. If only Darwin would score the goal before seeing the headlines. Calm down lad!

Niko: Great win for the Reds. Curtis Jones' work-rate and a couple of great blocks each from Gravenberch and Konate kept us ahead at half-time. But as per Liverpool's season so far, the second-half display proved too much for the opposition to handle, despite the heavy pressure Villa threw at us. Mo Salah once again proving his class.

Aston Villa fans

Janet: It's no disgrace losing to the champions elect and we had enough chances to make a game of it but our forwards are all struggling - Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey were anonymous and Morgan Rogers cannot finish. Plus, it was a cast-iron penalty which would have been given last season - being the away team in front of 60,000 Liverpool fans didn't help.

David: We grew into the second half but the mandatory Diego Carlos error cost us. Bailey has been a passenger for weeks, Jaden Philogene needs to start and give Kosta Nedeljkovic a chance so Ezri Konsa can return to the middle. Set-piece delivery needs to stop hitting the first man too.

Doc: Tough for Villa. Thought they performed really well after some poor displays. Couple of good chances we didn't take could have made a huge difference, and a couple of great saves from the Liverpool keeper. Can't understand how the holding penalty appeal on Pau Torres was not given, and a poor refereeing performance went against us. A good Villa performance.
