Events

Match Events

  • 0' The wait is over. West Bromwich Albion FC get us underway at .
  • 5' The 28-year-old Tosin Adarabioyo has been sensational this season — 2 goals and 0 assists is a remarkable return.
  • 10' It looks surprising West Bromwich Albion FC does not make any changes. Matt Phillips has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 12' What a moment for Anwar El Ghazi! That strike on 12 puts his side firmly in control.
  • 17' 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 Dwight Gayle suffering a number of foals already.
  • 22' has dominated the recent head-to-head record, winning 0 of the last 0 meetings.
  • 27' will be watching from the dugout nervously. His West Bromwich Albion FC side need to improve if they are to claim all three points.
  • 28' A goal from the England international Dwight Gayle! He fires home on 28 to make it 1-1!
  • 33' 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.
  • 38' West Bromwich Albion FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 38.
  • 43' The clock is ticking and both teams know a goal could change everything at this point.
  • 48' looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
  • 52' The Aston Villa FC bench stirs into life. Neil Taylor is withdrawn and Ahmed El Mohamady gets his opportunity.
  • 57' While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Orjan Nyland made 358 appearances and scored 0 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 59' Anwar El Ghazi adds to his 0 season tally! Aston Villa FC lead 1-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 61' That is a Yellow card for West Bromwich Albion FC. Jake Livermore will be fuming at that decision.
  • 63' That looks like a foul for a Yellow card for Ahmed Hegazy.
  • 68' The midfield battle is intense right now. Both West Bromwich Albion FC and Aston Villa FC are fighting for every inch of the pitch.
  • 72' A change in the West Bromwich Albion FC ranks — Jake Livermore exits the field as Chris Brunt enters on 72.
  • 77' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 82' West Bromwich Albion FC ring the changes. Tosin Adarabioyo has done his job and it is now time for Oliver Burke to step up.
  • 87' The Aston Villa FC manager makes a substitution. Jack Grealish departs to be replaced by Glenn Whelan.
  • 90' Jay Rodriguez adds to his 0 season tally! West Bromwich Albion FC lead 2-2 — and this changes everything.
  • 90' Glenn Whelan picks up a Yellow card and will need to be extremely careful for the remainder of this match.
  • Hope, you loved the show. Another epic battle is over with the score 2-2.
