Aston Villa secured a dramatic 3-2 victory over Everton at Villa Park on Saturday, erasing a two-goal deficit in a thrilling encounter.
Everton looked set for their first win of the season after Dwight McNeil opened the scoring and then assisted Dominic Calvert-Lewin for a 2-0 lead. However, the Toffees’ fragile defense crumbled once again, allowing Ollie Watkins to bag a brace and Jhon Duran to score a stunning goal of the season contender.
Duran, who had only recently entered the game, unleashed a ferocious shot from 30 yards out that left Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford with no chance. The goal came just minutes after Watkins had leveled the score at 2-2.
This result sees Aston Villa climb into the top four of the Premier League table, while Everton remain winless and struggling defensively, having conceded 13 goals in just four games.
Everton will attempt to turn things around in their upcoming League Cup match against Southampton, followed by a crucial Premier League clash against Leicester City. Aston Villa, meanwhile, face Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League before welcoming Wolves to Villa Park in the Premier League.
