Aston Villa scored a valuable victory over its guest team Everton, by three goals, in the match that brought the two teams together this evening, Saturday, at Villa Park, as part of the fifth round of the English Premier League competitions for the current season 2021-2022.
The victory is the second for Aston Villa this season, and the first loss for Everton, led by coach Rafa Benitez.
Aston Villa’s goals came in the second half, as defender Matti Cash scored the first goal in the 66th minute, and Everton’s French defender Lucas Digne added an own goal in the 69th minute.
Young Jamaican Leon Bailey scored Aston Villa’s third goal in the 75th minute.
Lucas Digne scored 3 goals in the Premier League, as no French player has scored more than that against his own goal in the history of the competition (equal with Younes Kabul).
Bailey is also the second player from Aston Villa to enter as a substitute, score and then be substituted in the Premier League, after Julian Joachim against Derby County in September 2000.
With this result, Aston Villa’s balance rises to 7 points and occupies tenth place in the English Premier League standings, while Everton’s balance stopped at 10 points in fifth place.
