Stat Attack: All you need to know about Aston Villa 2-1 Everton

Danny Ings and Emiliano Buendia scored as Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa beat Frank Lampard’s Everton 2-1 at home to earn their first Premier League victory of the season. 

The hosts went ahead shortly before the break. Ollie Watkins found Ings just inside the box and the Villa striker fired past Jordan Pickford. 

Villa doubled their advantage in the 86th minute as Buendia played a quick one-two with Watkins in the box and tucked into an empty net.

A minute later, Everton halved the deficit. Debutant Amadou Onana fired a ball across goal that former Toffees defender Lucas Digne inadvertently turned into his own net to set up a tense finish — but the hosts held on to win.
