Events

Match Events

  • 0' And we are off! Southampton FC vs Aston Villa FC — let the football do the talking.
  • 5' Both keepers have barely been tested. Southampton FC and Aston Villa FC are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
  • 8' What composure from Shane Long! The Ireland international strokes it home. 1-0.
  • 13' Aston Villa FC fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 18' The referee has had an easy afternoon — neither side has been overly physical in the tackle.
  • 23' Aston Villa FC is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
  • 28' Aston Villa FC make a change. Anwar El Ghazi trudges off to be replaced by Trezeguet on 28 minutes.
  • 33' Supporters expect more eagerness from Anwar El Ghazi, as he is very good at scoring at St. Mary's Stadium with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 38' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both Southampton FC and Aston Villa FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 43' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 45' That is a Yellow card for Aston Villa FC. Ezri Konsa will be fuming at that decision.
  • 50' Over 50 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
  • 55' 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 James Ward-Prowse suffering a number of foals already.
  • 59' Another change for Aston Villa FC made on 59 minute. Ezri Konsa leaves to be changed by Conor Hourihane.
  • 64' With 0 assists to his name this season, Moussa Djenepo is clearly more than just a goal scorer for Southampton FC.
  • 69' The 33-year-old Borja Baston has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 72' Aston Villa FC receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 72.
  • 73' Michael Obafemi is replacing Danny Ings for the Southampton FC side.
  • 78' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 78 minutes.
  • 80' Oriol Romeu is ready to make an impact after coming on for William Smallbone at the 80 minute mark.
  • 81' Another substitution for Aston Villa FC to replace Marvelous Nakamba by Borja Baston on 81 minute.
  • 86' Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
  • 90' The referee reaches into his pocket. Out comes the Yellow card for Frederic Guilbert.
  • 2-0 the final result. Aston Villa FC will be bitterly disappointed.
