Events

Match Events

  • 0' Welcome to Villa Park that hosts another battle between Aston Villa FC and Swansea City AFC.
  • 2' Goal! Courtney Baker-Richardson scores his 6 goal in 383 matches.
  • 7' James Bree needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 0 Yellow cards this season.

  • 22' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 22 minutes.
  • 27' 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.
  • 32' It looks surprising Aston Villa FC does not make any changes. Joe Rodon has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 37' 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 Erwin Mulder suffering a number of foals already.
  • 42' Aston Villa FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 42.
  • 47' GOAL! Nathan Dyer scores on 47. Assisted by Leroy Fer

  • 72' Keinan Davis has so much to prove this time. He replaces Scott Hogan on 72 minute.
  • 77' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 78' Goal! Jay Fulton scores his 17 goal in 383 matches.
  • 83' Swansea 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.

  • 87' Neil Taylor is having his name booked by the referee on 87.
  • 87' The supporters are chanting for Cian Harries. He replaces Mike van der Hoorn on 87 minute.
