Birmingham, United Kingdom.- In the continuation of the highest category in English football within its 9th matchday corresponding to the 2023-2024 season, West Ham, where the Mexican defender Edson Álvarez plays, visited Aston Villa on the field from Villa Park.
The ball started between Aston Villa and West Ham
The match began with the attempt by both teams to have control of the ball from the first moments, as well as to reflect it where it counts, the scoreboard, although perhaps out of obligation the home team tilted that balance. In addition, the Mexican defender started in the visitors’ starting eleven.
The scoring opened at Villa Park
The moments passed and when it seemed that the teams were neutralized, a right-footed shot came in the 30th minute of the running time by the Brazilian Douglas Luiz, to beat the French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, and put the goal of the pool on the board in favor of those at home.
Although the approaches continued, they no longer hurt each other and rest came.
More emotions in the complementary part
For the second half, the hammers were injured and immediately went in search of a tie, which resulted in defensive oversights, so in the 51st minute, Douglas Luiz was once again present to make it 2-0 from the eleven steps after a penalty committed by Mexican Edson Álvarez.
The stands were abuzz with what was happening on the grass, but in the 59th minute, Englishman Jarrod Bowen, following a pass from Edson and with a shot from outside the area deflected by a defender, brought the foreigners closer and calmed the waters in the stands.
But the locals were not satisfied and in the 74th minute, Englishman Ollie Watkins, with his left foot, increased the score to leave no doubt on the scoreboard. And still in the 89th minute, Jamaican native Leon Bailey made it 4-1 to seal the tie. It should be noted that the Azteca defender who played with América in the Liga MX, saw action for 90 minutes.
Next rivals for Aston Villa and West Ham
For the tenth matchday in the English Premier League, Aston Villa will once again be before their people to receive Luton Town; while West Ham will have a difficult duel when they host Everton.
Furthermore, with this result, those of the Spanish Unai Emery reached 19 points to place themselves in fifth place in the general classification; while David Moyes’ men stagnated with 14 points just in the middle of the table.
