Latest Aston Villa news from BirminghamLive as Villans share the spoils with Bournemouth in the Premier League

Aston Villa stars are raring to go again after drawing 2-2 with Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday.

Goals from Leon Bailey and a late header from Ollie Watkins saw Villa come away with a point on the south coast. It wasn’t the result Unai Emery’s side hoped for as they look to improve their away form.

 

Nonetheless, Villa remain fourth in the table and two points above Tottenham who sit fifth. After the game, Emery said: “Really tough match and of course it’s not the best result, but it’s not the worst. In the first half we started very well but they scored and it was a difficult moment. We reacted very well and drew.

“We had chances and so did they. VAR refused one goal from us and in the second half we started with the same resilience and started to impose progressively some tactical work we did before. They scored and it was more difficult, but again. In the end it was brilliant how we are trying to be consistent in 90 minutes and never give and up and be in the match. It’s a very good point for us and we have to accept it.”
