Aston Villa 0-1 West Ham: Deflected Pablo Fornals goal gives Hammers narrow win in Birmingham
West Ham beat Aston Villa 1-0 thanks to a deflected Pablo Fornals strike. It was a fortunate goal, cruelly looping up and over Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, but a vital one for the Hammers who claim their first Premier League points of the season. Ad West Ham entered the match as the only team in the top four divisions of English football without a goal this season, and on this evidence it is easy to see why.
