Everton would have gone top with a win, but Silva’s side got it wrong today. Their midfielders put in shoddy displays, while Everton look toothless in the final third. Villa duly punished them to claim the points.
What a win for Villa! They have ended a run of 16 Premier League games in style – Wesley and El Ghazi on target in a deserved victory. They rode their luck at times, with Iwobi hitting the post and Walcott spurning a great chance late on, but Smith’s side are up and running in the top flight!
90' + 5' GOOOOAALL!
