1 week ago Ollie Watkins on target as Aston Villa beat Bournemouth to boost top

A little over a month ago Aston Villa were preparing for the Parc des Princes and while they have enjoyed some memorable trips on the continent this campaign, it was hard to escape the sense that this one, in more modest surroundings in the spring Dorset sunshine, was arguably their most significant takeaway of the season yet. It probably felt even bigger for Unai Emery given his side finished with 10 men, Jacob Ramsey sent off late on for a second yellow card offence. And then deep into second-half stoppage time, Emiliano Martínez made a magnificent save to prevent Antoine Semenyo from side-footing in an equaliser.Ollie Watkins scored the only goal on the verge of half-time, his deft finish sufficient to earn a priceless Villa win in the race to qualify again for the Champions League and eclipse Gabriel Agbonlahor’s Premier League goalscoring record, this the England striker’s 75th in the top flight. “Something tells me I’m into something good,” crooned the 1,307 away supporters on...

1 week ago Southampton claim point to avoid ‘worst team in Premier League history’ tag

Pep Guardiola has an extremely fond memory of St Mary’s Stadium. It was here on the final day of the 2017-18 season that he watched Gabriel Jesus score a stoppage-time winner to ensure Manchester City finished as the Premier League champions with a record 100-point haul. It was a number at the opposite end of the spectrum that provided a prominent subplot this time.Southampton kicked off on 11 points, level with the lowest haul in the competition – that collected with apologies by Derby in 2007-08. Could Southampton, who had suffered so much, get something to lift them clear of the unwanted association? Continue reading...

After missing out on a Champions League semi-final and an FA Cup final over the previous two matches, Unai Emery’s team enhanced their chances of the top-five finish in the Premier League that would return them to Europe’s elite competition after Youri Tielemans’ first-half header dented Fulham’s own bid for continental competition.Villa have now equalled their 17-match record unbeaten home run in the Premier League, set during Emery’s first season here two years ago, and are level on points with Nottingham Forest, who visit Crystal Palace on Monday, and Chelsea, at home to Liverpool on Sunday, on 60 points.
