Things are getting a whole lot worse for Aston Villa, who were devastated by Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.
At the time of writing, the rout is ongoing, with the Toffees leading 4-0 after an hour.
The home side’s first-half display was a thing of beauty, with Roberto Martinez’s talented attacking players demonstrating the kind of class, vision and composure that have made them among the most sought-after offensive stars in the country.
Ross Barkley opened the scoring with this magical effort on 17 minutes, finishing with aplomb after starting the move himself with a delightful backheel.
Right-back Seamus Coleman, finding form again, was influential in the second, converted by Romelu Lukaku, before Barkley extended the Blues lead, making it 3-0, on 47 minutes.
