Match Events

Kick off!

26 min: TIELEMANS! Short corner to McGinn, who then whips it to Tielemans who is free. Takes a touch and fires it low into the bottom left corner omitting the defence.

32 min: Niasse booked for fouling Onana

37 min: RAMSEY!! What can I say this is a bizaree goal. Digne is sent through on the left, he cuts into Rogers, who fails to makes much progress. Camara just stands there with the ball and Watkins intercepts but is fouled by von Ballamos in the process but Ramsey gets the ball therefore no pen and its a goal!

42 min: WATKINS! Ramsey crosses across goal, Watkins first shot is blocked by Zoukrou but Watkins gets another shot and this time he aims into the goal.

VAR rules it out for handball by Watkins! What? Confirmed by the replay that it was a bad decision. Ref is utterly unqualified if after video review he saw that as a handball.

Half-time. Villa lead 2-0

Second half under way

Two changes: Diego Carlos on for Bogarde and Elia on for Niasse.

46 min: Lauper gets a yellow for tripping

54 min: Elia is also booked for a foul

59 min: Watkins comes off for Duran

Limited updates from now on

79 min: Duran scores… but it’s called out of handball because the ref is an utter clown and cannot ref. Calls this off after a huge passive of play, and calls off Watkins.

86 min: ONANA long range shot. 3-0!
