Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Villa Park that hosts another battle between Aston Villa FC and AFC Bournemouth.
  • 5' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for John McGinn suffering a number of foals already.
  • 10' The 30-year-old Ollie Watkins has been sensational this season — 5 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 15' The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Aston Villa FC that had 355 games and scored 497 goals.
  • 20' The energy levels are beginning to show. Iraola might look to freshen things up shortly.
  • 21' Adam Smith was booked on 21.
  • 26' Aston Villa FC is showing some good football. However, Aston Villa FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 31' Against the run of play, Dominic Solanke has scored! This game has turned on its head.
  • 36' A moment of individual brilliance could settle this. Both teams are waiting for that decisive action.
  • 37' It’s a booking for AFC Bournemouth player. Marcos Senesi gets a card.
  • 42' It looks surprising Aston Villa FC does not make any changes. Moussa Diaby has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 46' GOAL! Morgan Rogers scores on 45. Assisted by Leon Bailey
  • 46' It is a substitution in AFC Bournemouth team. Adam Smith is replaced by Max Aarons on 46 minute.
  • 51' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 55' That looks like a foul for a card for Illia Zabarnyi.
  • 57' Moussa Diaby makes no mistake. The score reads 2-1 and Aston Villa FC are in front.
  • 62' Aston Villa FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 63' AFC Bournemouth manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Antoine Semenyo is hanging Marcos Senesi on the field on 63 minute.
  • 68' Lloyd Kelly has been relatively quiet despite scoring 8 goals in his last 387 appearances.
  • 73' AFC Bournemouth started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 73.
  • 76' Time for substitution for AFC Bournemouth. Ryan Christie is replaced by Alex Scott.
  • 78' GOAL! Leon Bailey scores on 78. Assisted by Ollie Watkins
  • 82' The AFC Bournemouth bench stirs into life. Dango Ouattara is withdrawn and Enes Unal gets his opportunity.
  • 87' The referee shows Aston Villa FC player a card on 87.
  • 87' The crowd applauds Leon Bailey as he leaves the pitch. Diego Carlos steps in for Aston Villa FC.
  • 90' Jhon Duran is replacing Moussa Diaby for the Aston Villa FC side.
  • 3-1 the final result. AFC Bournemouth will be bitterly disappointed.
