Brighton 3-4 Aston Villa: Seven-goal thriller on south coast sees Villa up to third
"Watkins halved the deficit with just under 10 minutes of the half remaining. From Ian Maatsen's low cross, the England international was brave to throw himself amid several bodies to poke home. Emery was visibly agitated on the touchline throughout. However, he went into half-time the happier of the two managers when, in the eighth minute of stoppage time, Watkins doubled his tally, finishing well after latching onto a long ball over the top."
"Aston Villa came from two goals down to beat Brighton 4-3 in a thrilling game at the Amex Stadium to make it six successive wins in all competitions and move up to third in the Premier League. Jan Paul van Hecke and a Pau Torres own goal gave the hosts a commanding early lead on the south coast but an Ollie Watkins double, followed by goals from Amadou Onana and Donyell Malen turned the game on its head."
Aston Villa overturned a 2-0 deficit to beat Brighton 4-3, making it six consecutive wins and moving into third place. Brighton took a commanding early lead through Jan Paul van Hecke and a Pau Torres own goal after Villa goalkeeper Emi Martinez hurt his knee in the warm-up, forcing Marco Bizot into goal; Bizot's error led to the first goal. Ollie Watkins scored twice — including a stoppage-time equalizer — before Amadou Onana and Donyell Malen put Villa ahead. Van Hecke reduced the deficit late, and Brighton, for whom Lewis Dunk made his 500th appearance, slipped to seventh.
