Match Events
- 0' In just a few seconds Villa Park will turn into a battlefield for Aston Villa FC and Hull City AFC.
- 5' Hull City AFC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 5.
- 10' It looks surprising Aston Villa FC does not make any changes. Jonathan Kodjia has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 15' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 20' Supporters expect more eagerness from Conor Hourihane, as he is very good at scoring at Villa Park with 6 goals in the last 5 games.
- 25' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Lovre Kalinic made 299 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
- 27' Goal! Jarrod Bowen scores his 112 goal in 380 matches.
- 32' It looks like no one’s ball. Aston Villa FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 37' GOAL! Evandro scores on 37. Assisted by Kamil Grosicki
- 40' It’s a booking for Hull City AFC player. Kevin Stewart gets a Yellow card.
- 45' What a strike from James Chester! The score is 1-2.
- 45' Hull City AFC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 45.
- 45' Another change for Hull City AFC made on 45 minute. Jordy de Wijs leaves to be changed by Robbie McKenzie.
- 50' 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.
- 55' Chris Martin has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 47 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
- 58' Birkir Bjarnason was booked on 58.
- 59' Time for substitution for Aston Villa FC. Yannick Bolasie is replaced by Anwar El Ghazi.
- 64' What an equalizer from Tammy Abraham!
- 69' Hull City AFC 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.
- 73' Another change for Hull City AFC made on 73 minute. Evandro leaves to be changed by Daniel Batty.
- 75' Time for substitution for Aston Villa FC. Birkir Bjarnason is replaced by Jonathan Kodjia.
- 80' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
- 84' The referee shows Hull City AFC player a Yellow card on 84.
- 89' Aston Villa FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 90' It is a substitution in Hull City AFC team. Jarrod Bowen is replaced by Eric Lichaj on 90 minute.
- The final score is 2-2.
