BIRMINGHAM, ENGLAND : Bertrand Traore and Ollie Watkins earned Aston Villa a 2-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Saturday to keep Unai Emery's side on track for a place in Europe next season and send their opponents into the relegation zone.
Aston Villa picked off Nottingham Forest to rack up a sixth win in seven matches to climb to sixth in the Premier League and pile the pressure on Steve Cooper. The question now is how will Evangelos Marinakis respond to Forest dropping into the relegation zone? Marinakis handed Cooper a new contract in October to dispel talk of him dismissing his manager when Forest were bottom of the table but it is difficult to envisage the Forest owner being quite so generous this time around, their top-flight status in grave danger. The substitute Bertrand Traoré, Villa’s hero at Leicester in midweek, opened the scoring before Ollie Watkins scored his ninth goal in 11 games to double Villa’s lead in second-half stoppage time and compound the misery for Cooper, who looked on glum-faced.
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery has revealed a meeting with Ollie Watkins early in his reign might be behind the striker’s incredible run of form.
LONDON: Another 0-0 stalemate between Chelsea and Liverpool. Another match highlighting the sharp decline of two of England’s top teams who, at this rate, are unlikely to be playing in the Champions League next season.
Four clubs in the incredibly congested relegation dogfight in the Premier League were in action on Tuesday night and two of them met at Elland Road, as Leeds United hosted Nottingham Forest. Javi Gracia’s team were arguably the biggest winners of the night, as goals from Jack Harrison and Luis Sinisterra overturned Orel Mangala’s opener.
Leicester began life after Brendan Rodgers in similar fashion to how his reign ended as they slipped to a late 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa.
LEICESTER, England : Aston Villa plunged Leicester City deeper into relegation danger on Tuesday with a 2-1 away win in the Premier League after the home side played the last 20 minutes with 10 men and had a late penalty hope ruled out by VAR.
Aston Villa clinched a late win at Leicester courtesy of a sumptuous first-time strike by the substitute Bertrand Traoré to fuel their hopes of playing European football next season. Leicester can only dream of such grand stages after defeat extended their miserable run. Leicester, who sacked Brendan Rodgers last weekend, remain in a sorry predicament, entrenched in the Premier League relegation zone and winless in eight matches. The damning reality is they have taken just four points since winning the reverse fixture at Villa Park at the beginning of February.
