Premier League round-up: Wins for Villa, Everton and Palace

Aston Villa's push to secure Champions League football continued as Unai Emery's men came from behind to beat Bournemouth 3-1 at Villa Park.

Having gone a goal down through Dominic Solanke's 31st-minute penalty, Villa turned things around with Morgan Rogers equalising in first-half stoppage time, Moussa Diaby putting them ahead just before the hour mark and Leon Bailey subsequently adding a third in the 78th minute.

Ollie Watkins set up the finishes from Diaby and Bailey as he became the Premier League's outright leading assist maker this season with 12, to go with the 19 goals that see him sit only one behind joint leaders Erling Haaland and Cole Palmer in the Golden Boot race.

The result, strengthening Villa's grip on fourth place, caps an excellent few days for the midlands outfit after last Sunday's 2-0 win at Arsenal and Thursday's penalty shootout triumph at Lille that took them into the Europa Conference League semi-finals.

With four league games to go they are six points clear of fifth-placed Tottenham, who have two games in hand. Andoni Iraola's Bournemouth stay 13th.

A bright start from Villa saw Watkins' shot deflect over off Illia Zabarnyi, John McGinn drive wide and Pau Torres just fail to connect with Diaby's delivery at the far post.

Bournemouth threatened just past the quarter-hour mark when Justin Kluivert's firm hit brought a good save out of Emiliano Martinez.

And after Diaby scuffed off-target from a good position, the visitors exerted further pressure, with shots from Dango Ouattara and Ryan Christie going wide before Milos Kerkez was brought down by Matty Cash - scorer of a vital late goal at Lille - and referee Tim Robinson pointed to the spot.

Martinez had pulled off two saves in Thursday's shootout, but
