Aston Villa and West Ham United played out a goalless draw last night at Villa Park as both sides failed to make the most of their chances at both ends.
The visitors were reduced to 10 men with 23 minutes to go when Arthur Masuaku was sent off for a second bookable offence, and while Villa were handed a huge advantage as a result, it was West Ham who looked likelier to find the winner.
Tempers appeared to boil over between Villa’s Tyrone Mings and Answar El Ghazi during the first half, with the defender berating the winger for failing to help out and cover a West Ham attack down the left flank.
