Monday’s are far more bearable at work when you’ve seen your team pick up three points on the weekend, especially when they’ve done so in such a convincing fashion as Aston Villa did on Saturday.
Their 4-0 win over Southampton is one that will live long in the memory of those in attendance.
A near faultless performance saw four different goalscorers and a clean sheet registered as Steven Gerrard’s men made it back-to-back victories for the first time since the scouser’s first two games in charge.
Whether it’s to see Calum Chambers turn into prime Andres Iniesta again or to watch Philippe Coutinho show his Brazilian magic, you’d be forgiven if you’ve already watched the highlights a few times since.
