Amadou Onana couldn’t fit better with Aston Villa. Despite the difficult challenge of forgetting Douglas Luiz, the Belgian was once again decisive in the team’s second victory. Unai Emery with another purpose served to defeat the Leicester (1-2).
A less comfortable rivalry than the ‘villains’ expected. And most of all it started with bad news, well Leon Bailey He lasted only a few minutes on the field when he was injured and had to be replaced by Jacob Ramsey, thus changing the game plan.
After the first section where the Leicester is something more dominant, with the special intervention of electric Fatawu between the lines, logic began to tremble to allow the popularity of Aston Villawho, however, lacked clairvoyance in the last meters. And in two actions he had and found WatkinsHermansen won the game.
But Emery He is a man of resources. Last season the Aston Villa They are one of the best set piece teams and that is no accident. In a wonderful board game comes the goal of Onanawho first finished off a Watkins cross by stretching his leg after catching the entire ‘fox’ defense off guard (28′).
It was the best minute for Birmingham, who continued their handicap to be more concrete in their defensive actions. But at least they didn’t suffer, because the Leicester He was completely disconnected and stayed that way even through the locker room, so logically the second of the match came. Aston Villa. Even without Watkins, lazy the other day, on the field. This is his replacement, the powerful one They took a long timewith an excellent header put Digne’s shot from the left into the corner and seemed to kill the game (63′) when he was on the pitch for two minutes.
The control panel does not have any disconnection. Emerybut it is not a perfect machine. So with a mistake, a weak ball was bowled out of time Bounanotte and with his left foot the ball first kissed the nets to give more excitement (73′). With more faith than anything else, Steve Cooper’s men went on the attack looking for an equaliser, but the lack of resources was evident. Duran had the verdict but it wasn’t necessary, as Emi Martínez wasn’t even bothered.
