The ‘villains’ beat West Ham (4-1) to be fifth in the Premier
MADRID, 22 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Aston Villa thrashed West Ham (4-1) this Sunday on matchday 9 of the Premier to place fifth in the table, knocking on the door of the Champions League zone.
Unai Emery’s team once again appeared strong at Villa Park, ready to take the big leap in this campaign. Against West Ham, a team that also sought to bring that area of prestige closer, the locals were far superior, winning with great goals.
Douglas Luiz did not take advantage of the first but in the second it was 1-0 after half an hour. Already in the second half, the midfielder himself scored from the penalty spot to make it 2-0, but Jarrod Bowen, with a rebound from Pau Torres, gave life to West Ham (2-1).
However, in the last 15 minutes came goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey to seal Aston Villa’s twelfth consecutive victory at home and stay one point away from the ‘Champions’ zone, a year after Emery’s arrival in Birmingham .
