Watkins goals help Villans inflict more misery on Toffees

Watkins goals help Villans inflict more misery on Toffees

Ollie Watkins scored his first goals of the season as Aston Villa capitalised on Everton spurning a two-goal lead for a second consecutive game to beat the bottom side in the Premier League at Villa Park.

Dwight McNeil slotted the visitors in front in the 16th minute before Dominic Calvert-Lewin doubled their lead with a header 11 minutes later, only for Watkins, who had an early effort blocked off the line, to score twice in 23 minutes either side of half-time.

Just as they had at home to Bournemouth immediately before the international break, Everton then saw what had been a 2-0 advantage become a 3-2 defeat as Jhon Duran hit the 76th-minute winner from 30 yards to move Villa third, although Calvert-Lewin sent a shot against the woodwork two minutes later.

Everton have not won away since December 2023 and join Southampton as the only teams to have lost their first four top-flight matches this season.
