"Unai Emery's side bounced back superbly from last week's loss to Liverpool, while Bournemouth fell to their second consecutive Premier League defeat, following their loss to Manchester City. Emiliano Buendia put Villa ahead in the 28th minute with a magnificent free-kick from around 20 yards out, curling the ball up and over the wall into the top corner before Amadou Onana doubled the hosts' lead before half-time with a powerful low strike."
"Alex Scott nearly pulled Bournemouth back into the game with a looping shot that looked destined for the net, only for a back-tracking Emiliano Martinez to produce a sensational fingertip save. Evanilson struck the post with a header soon after and the Cherries were handed a lifeline when Morgan Rogers was penalised for handball, but Martinez guessed correctly to keep out Semenyo's weak spot-kick and preserve Villa's clean sheet. Substitutes Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen then added gloss to the scoreline."
Aston Villa beat Bournemouth 4-0 at Villa Park, restoring momentum after a loss to Liverpool. Emiliano Buendia opened the scoring in the 28th minute with a spectacular 20-yard free-kick, and Amadou Onana added a powerful low strike before half-time. Emiliano Martinez produced a crucial fingertip save and denied Antoine Semenyo’s penalty to preserve a clean sheet. Bournemouth hit the post and had a strong chance saved, but substitutes Ross Barkley and Donyell Malen finished the scoring. Buendia has three goals in his last five Premier League appearances and registered Villa’s first direct Premier League free-kick since December 2023.
