Aston Villa vs. Everton live score, updates, highlights & lineups as ... (Sporting News)

Former England teammates Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard face off at Villa Park this weekend as Everton head to the West Midlands.

Frank Lampard! A match between two struggling sides desperate to improve and lay down a marker for the season, with tedious arguments over England's best midfielders rumbling on in the background... Villa have looked shaky from corners and they didn't deal with this one, with Gordon turning the ball in from close range. Ings and Philippe Coutinho seemed to get in each other's way from the cut-back, but the striker turns and rifles a shot past the helpless Pickford with his weaker left foot. 24th min: And just like that, Everton have the ball in the net... 41st min: Everton are trying to be a bit more assertive in possession, but Emiliano Martinez remains untroubled in the Villa goal. 1 hr 20 minutes to KO: Both these teams started the season with defeats: Everton were edged out at home by Chelsea, while Villa were beaten at Bournemouth. Gerrard's men attempted 13 shots from open play on the south coast, a figure bettered only by Tottenham Hotspur (15) and Newcastle United (17) last week. Ramsey teases a low ball across the six-yard box and Coutinho just can't reach it on the slide. It was a frantic finish, but Everton just couldn't find an equaliser, and Villa get their first points of the season. It was straight at the Villa keeper but he dealt with it well. This time, it's Onana who is dispossessed in the centre circle, and Buendia takes over: he slides in Watkins and races onto the return pass across the box to slot home, with Pickford out of position. Onana was a lively player off the bench for his Premier League debut and it was his marauding run and cross that saw Digne turn the ball into his own net. 85th min: GOAL! 2-0 TO VILLA! Once again, it comes from Everton losing the ball up the pitch.

Aston Villa vs. Everton - Football Match Report - August 13, 2022 ... (ESPN)

BIRMINGHAM, England, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Aston Villa striker Danny Ings and substitute Emiliano Buendia secured a 2-1 win over Everton as the hosts claimed ...

With Everton throwing everything forward, defender Mings made a superb late challenge to deny substitute Salomon Rondon as the home side held on to win. Having lost 2-0 at Bournemouth on the opening weekend, Villa's manager Steven Gerrard restored centre-back Tyrone Mings to the starting lineup and his side bounced back with an industrious performance, outmuscling an Everton team coached by Gerrard's former England teammate Frank Lampard. After good work down the right by Ollie Watkins, the 30-year-old swiped the ball from in front of onrushing teammate Philippe Coutinho before cutting back onto his left foot and rifling a shot past Jordan Pickford just past the half-hour.

He cuts it back from the byline but Holgate gets there first to clear the danger. Holgate tidies up again, as Ings latches on to a loose header from Tarkwoski and almost barrels through on goal. Buendia drives forwards on the break, and lays it to Watkins in the right of the area. Onana does brilliantly to get to the byline on the left, and fires a superb cross low through the six-yard box. Gordon now goes through on the left, drilling a low shot across Martinez who saves it. Rondon flicks a long ball into the area and Onana is on to it.

Frank Lampard insists Everton deserved draw against Aston Villa ... (Daily Mail)

Everton manager Frank Lampard thinks his team were deserving of a point at Villa Park as they fell just short of completing a remarkable come-back.

That was always the plan to bring Buendia's energy. At the end, the spirit was good and you come away with a bad feeling you come away with a bad feeling that you didn't get a point. The way he slows the play down and still executes the quality under that pressure. When you have to make a sub and a change then it can affect the team no matter who you lose or are bringing in. The conditions were tough for both sets of players. It's very common in the Premier League that teams play without a focal point.

Aston Villa target new defender after being rocked by Diego Carlos ... (Mirror.co.uk)

Steven Gerrard is poised to step up the search for a new centre-back before the transfer window closes following the prognosis of Aston Villa defender Diego ...

Our regain and go to go and execute was fantastic and we got two goals on the back of that. The conditions were extremely hard and we had to give a lot to the game. We still need to learn, we still need to be less naïve and manage games better. I’m hoping that’s not going to dampen the feeling we’ve got because it was important that we bounced back and important that we gave our supporters a better level of performance. You can see by the player and the man that he’s not the type to go off easy. In the meantime, Villa have now told their scouting network to draw up a list of potential new targets if the worst is confirmed.
