00:00
Aston Villa 2, Ezzed Alkmaar 1. It's now three wins out of four in the Europa
00:05
Conference League for Unai Emery's men. Five out of six if you include the games
00:09
against Hibernian in the playoff round but three out of four in the Europa
00:12
Conference League proper. It wasn't easy though. Ezzed Alkmaar taking the lead
00:15
early in the first half. Pavlidis getting the goal finally getting the
00:18
better of Emi Martinez after having about three or four saves, a shot saved
00:23
sorry. It was a fantastic finish to be fair to him. He was running through on goal
00:27
beating Villas off sidetrack which was otherwise very good tonight and taking
00:31
it over Martinez and they look quite good actually the away side after that
00:35
point pressing on for a second goal. But Villa making some changes and they got
00:40
their first goal. Diego Carlos getting his first goal for the
00:44
club equalising in a 60th minute. Bubuka Kamara had an absolute howler of a
00:49
missed chance just a minute earlier. Went to it at the far post just a few yards out
00:53
and completely fluffed his lines. Flexed it over though for a corner and Leon
00:57
Bailey crossed it in and Diego Carlos nodded it in across goal, glanced it, made
01:02
it look effortless to send Villa Park wild for 1-1. It wasn't the job done
01:06
though. Unai Emery turning to his bench making some substitutions. Douglas
01:10
Luiz as he always does here at Villa Park taking control of the midfield and
01:14
he put in a fantastic ball for Oli Watkins who was otherwise quite quiet on
01:18
the night. A little dinked through ball, a cross through ball should I say
01:22
through the centre and Watkins a little bit like Carlos glanced the ball into
01:27
the far corner. I should say as well that Clement Longley in just a second or
01:31
third minute also scored a header but that one was ruled out for offside. But
01:35
Watkins, the man decisive, quite often does this actually. He goes missing in
01:39
games and then just pops up at the vital moment to get Villa a winner and he's
01:42
done that again. Nine points now out of 12. Ligia Warsaw are still top of the
01:47
group due to a better record against Villa. It's head-to-head rather than
01:51
goal difference but an opportunity in the next Europa Conference League game
01:55
for Villa at home here against Ligia Warsaw to get that advantage and go top
01:59
of the group. But for now Unai Emery's team a fantastic turnaround and great
02:03
character shown. It is Aston Villa 2, Eze Dalmat 1.
