Aston Villa welcomed Bournemouth at Villa Park earlier today as they looked to secure all three points at home in the Premier League. The Villans made a solid start to the game but were held to a scoreless draw at the half-time interval.
Ross Barkley finally broke the deadlock in the 76th minute. However, the Villans conceded an injury-time equaliser as Evanilson scored for the visitors. The contest finished with the West Midlands club being held to a 1-1 draw at Villa Park.
Let’s take a look at how each Aston Villa player fared during the match against Bournemouth.
