Loan watch: Philippe Coutinho shines again in Aston Villa win

Philippe Coutinho continues to enjoy life back in the Premier League and played a starring role in Aston Villa’s impressive 4-0 Premier League win over Southampton on Saturday.

The Brazilian was named in the starting XI once again and delivered the goods for Steven Gerrard’s side at Villa Park.

Coutinho had a hand in two goals, scored once, and might have had a few more but missed a couple of superb chances for the Villans.

The first goal came from a smart Coutinho pass that saw Danny Ings and Ollie Watkins link up to open the scoring on nine minutes through the former Southampton striker.
