Aston Villa 4-0 Everton: Leon Bailey gets goal and assist in thumping win

Aston Villa recovered from their Premier League opener against Newcastle by beating Everton 4-0 at Villa Park.

Last weekend, Unai Emery’s Villa were beaten badly 5-1 but they started the campaign at home with an impressive Leon Bailey goal.

The nimble winger’s brilliant work allowed him to open the scoring for captain John McGinn, who scored his first goal from close range.

The home side doubled their lead in the 24th minute thanks to a Douglas Luiz penalty after the referee deemed Jordan Pickford to have fouled Ollie Watkins in the penalty area.

Villa easily opened the scoring for Everton and Jamaica international Bailey scored a third after the break, punishing a poor save by Toffees defender Michael Keane.

England goalkeeper Pickford had a great reflex to save Moussa Diaby’s thunderous volley but a more clumsy defense from the visitors gave Jhon Duran a fourth goal.

Everton substitute Arnaut Danjuma forced Emiliano Martinez to make a brilliant save but Sean Dyche’s side have now lost their opening two games of the season.

And a bad afternoon for the visitors was made worse as Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Alex Iwobi both limped through injury.

Bailey and Diaby impress Villa

In this match last season, former England teammates Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard played for their teams.

Both teams changed managers during the campaign, but it’s clear which team has been helped the most by their decisions.

Spaniard Emery has done an outstanding job since his appointment in October, pulling Villa out of the relegation zone to end last season in Europe.

While Emery’s men were split by the Warblers in their opening match, they did the same against Everton at their fortress of Villa Park – winning an eighth straight win on their own turf.

Bailey weaves his magic from the left wing, giving Ashley Young a tough time returning to his old club, while club record signing Diaby seems to have integrated right away. circuit and equally impressive in the final third of the game.

When McGinn puts the home team ahead, there will only be one winner.

Luiz and Bailey extended Villa’s advantage before Colombian Duran scored his first goal for the club after coming on as a substitute to add to the impressive victory.

Calvert-Lewin injured again

Everton narrowly escaped relegation on the final day of last season and early signs suggest it could be another difficult season for the Toffees.

They lost their opening two games without scoring and sank to the bottom of the table.

Defeat by Fulham in the first game by missing countless chances, Everton were destroyed by Villa, who took full advantage of defensive flaws during a scorching day in the Midlands.

Injured striker Calvert-Lewin was able to start but played only 36 minutes when he had to leave the field with a face injury earlier in the game in a collision with goalkeeper Martinez.

The England international has played the full 90 minutes just four times in the competition since the start of last season and with Neal Maupay out of form and summer signing Youssef Chermiti underfunded, Everton are in dire need of a goal. won from somewhere.

Danjuma looked vibrant after coming on for Calvert-Lewin, but missed a golden opportunity early in the first half when his low shot was saved by Martinez, the visitors’ best chance.

Everton’s next game is a big one next Saturday with no-win side Wolves, who have also lost both matches so far.
