Spanish coaches are in fashion abroad and Unai Emery and Andoni Iraola met in the Premier League, where Aston Villa won the first against Bournemout (3-1).
This should be a return to a very close rivalry. The ‘cherries’ first hit through Dominic Solanke, of course. The striker, one of the top scorers this season, scored after a penalty taken by Cash on Kerkez (31′).
However, Aston Villa’s reaction was precise and deadly. The tie was psychological, coming in stoppage time in the first half. Bailey put in a nice outside pass for Rogers, who coolly beat Neto after a cutback (45′). And it affected Bournemouth as shortly after half-time they conceded their second, this time by Diaby (57′) from a pass by Watkins who also made a great assist to Bailey for the quiet goal (78′).
