Emi Buendia has doubled Villa’s lead with an ice-cold penalty, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way. He is in stellar form.
This new Villa team, who had a slow start to the season, seem to be finding their groove.
Tom Collomosse writes in from Villa Park: Buendia made it two after a bizarre VAR check. Alysson was tripped by Tripic (seriously) but the ball didn’t go out of play for the next two minutes. Eventually the referee halted play and gave the kick after checking the monitor. Buendia has missed two very good chances tonight so that will make him feel better.
