Aston Villa mounted a stunning comeback to defeat Everton 3-2 at Villa Park on Saturday, securing their third win of the season and moving into third place in the Premier League table.
Everton started brightly and took a two-goal lead within the first half hour thanks to goals from Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin. However, Villa responded strongly, with Ollie Watkins scoring his first goals of the season either side of halftime.
Despite Everton’s early advantage, Villa dominated possession and created numerous chances in the second half. The winning goal arrived in spectacular fashion when Jhon Duran, who had already impressed as a substitute in previous games, unleashed a stunning long-range strike into the top corner, leaving Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with no chance.
Everton, who remain bottom of the table with no points from their first four games, were unable to create enough chances in the final stages to salvage a point.
The result highlights Villa’s impressive attacking potential and their ability to overcome adversity, while Everton face mounting pressure as they look to avoid a repeat of last season’s relegation battle.
