Brighton 0-2 Aston Villa: Matty Cash on the money and Ollie Watkins ends goal drought as Steven Gerrard's side return to winning ways after delayed kick-off at the Amex Stadium

Matty Cash and Ollie Watkins were on target as Aston Villa triumphed 2-0 away at Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday afternoon.

Cash broke the deadlock in the 17th minute at the Amex Stadium, smashing home off the post into the bottom corner from the edge of the box.

He celebrated his goal by unveiling a message under his shirt for his Poland team-mate Tomasz Kedziora, who plays for Dynamo Kyiv and is still in the Ukrainian capital following the Russian invasion of the country.

Watkins doubled the lead after half-time in the 68th minute as he latched on to Lucas Digne's pass and calmly finished past Robert Sanchez to end his six-game goal drought.
