The season has started impressively for her Aston Villa! Unai Emery’s team are showing that they are very dangerous and for… big things, confirming that they are in great shape.
This time, its “victim” was the next opponent of Olympiakos in the Europa League, west ham, which slipped away with “four” at “Villa Park” (4-1), showing its defensive weaknesses. Thus, the “hammers” remained in 9th place and 14 points, while the “villagers” are in the top five, but at -2 from the leader Manchester City.
The score for the hosts opened in the 30th minute Douglas Lewis, after an assist from Watkins, for 1-0, which was also the score with which the two teams went into the break. It was the same player who doubled the goals for his side, scoring from the penalty spot in the 51st minute.
Five minutes later, Mr Bowen gave the visitors a breather, going down to 2-1. In 74′, however, o Watkins made it 3-1, sealing the win for his team. The icing on the cake was put by Bailey in the 89th minute, making the final 4-1.
