Villa’s Hot Streak continues
Aston Villa thrashed Wolves at Villa Park, taking all three points with Boubacar Kamara’s second strike of the second half in the second leg.
Unai Emery’s Side Burpper most of the afternoon and created a clear opening, but it required patience to lower the content of the living experience to accept the pressure and the counter when possible.
Villa’s first bright chance came when the visitors almost found their own net, Moller Wolfe sliding a clearance against the crossbar.
Morgan Roger and Matty Cash both forced Sam Johnstone to work, and the Wolves gave reminders at times of threat, with Emilimaano MartÃnez asking to stop Strand Larsen and Noryal Mosquera looking to be made of wood.
Villa extended their lead after the break, and the breakthrough came when John McGiginn worked the ball into Kamara outside the box. The midfielder opened up his body and directed a controlled strike into the top corner, the finish finally rewarding Villa’s dominance.
Emery made a late save to protect the lead as Wolves put more men forward, looking for a response. Joao Gomes drew a strong save from MartÃnez and a wrister in stoppage time had the home fans holding their breath, but Villa’s back line remained strong nine minutes into extra time.
The forest descends from home
Brighton claimed their first win in two months with a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
The visitors started strongly and carved out chances almost immediately, with Yanking Minteh and Garagio Ruter both scoring early on.
Forest had to clear twice from the line as the Brighton Getaitolial Lawula, although Morgan Gibbs-White almost produced an amazing open spell at the other end, said goodbye to the best host.
The breakthrough came when the attack was half over. A long ball from Bart Verbruggen was cleared by Minteh, who combined with the rutter and fell kindly to Maxim de Cuyper.
The Belgian struck first in time, scoring his second goal for the club and sending Brighton ahead at the break.
Forest improved after the restart and built pressure without cutting many clear chances, its high pressure in the middle of the half when Cellum Hudson-Odoi and Ben Brereton Diap forced inside the box.
Brighton remained a threat at the break and could have extended their lead when Diego Gomez was denied by Matz Sel, with Stefanos Tzimas also making a save.
The decisive moment came with two minutes of normal time remaining. A short header from Morato was taken by Jack Hinshelwood, who collided with Sel when the ball was cleared in the area.
Tzimas reacted quickly and rolled into second, Brighton’s points confirmed and up to fifth.
