Former Vasco Douglas Luiz continues to fill the eyes of Aston Villa fans. This Sunday (22/10), in the ninth round of the English Championship, the fan scored two goals for his team in the 4-1 defeat of West Ham, at home, at Villa Park, in Birmingham. In this way he reached the sixth consecutive match with at least one goal in Aston Villa’s home games, a record. Watkins and Bailey played the other hosts. Bowen scored for West Ham.
The triumph (the eleventh consecutive at home) places the team in fifth place, with 19 points. West Ham stops on 14 points, in ninth place.

Brazilian Legion
While Douglas Luiz shone, West Ham star Lucas Paquetá left something to be desired. He also made a serious mistake which led to one of Aston Villa’s goals. Another Brazilian relative was defender Diego Carlos (Aston Villa). But he remained on the bench and didn’t come on. Emerson Palmieri, a Brazilian naturalized Italian, was a starter for West Ham.
Douglas Luiz is the right man
The match was marked by the dominance of Aston Villa, who had more ball possession (60%) and almost double the number of shots (14 to 8). In the first half there was balance until the 30th minute, when the hosts launched a good attack on the left and Watkins threw a ball to Douglas Luiz who scored the 1-0 with a low shot from outside the area. break, Aston expanded. After six minutes, Paquetá came to the defense’s aid. However, he made a backward pass that was ill-advised. Konsa takes advantage of the gift, but is brought down in the area by Álvarez. Douglas Luiz knocked and expanded.
However, Bowen’s goal in the 11th minute put West Ham in the game. The attacking midfielder receives the ball on the right and shoots. It would have been an easy save for Dibu Martínez, but the ball hit Pau Torres. So he deceived the Argentine goalkeeper. In search of an equaliser, West Ham tried to suffocate. It almost equalizes when the Moroccan Aguerd shoots for Cash who saves with a header. Pressed into a corner, Aston Villa began to rely on counterattacks. One of them killed the game. McGinn makes a pass to Watkins to invade from the left and launch a cross-court bomb. Nice goal. But there’s more: in the 43rd minute, Bailey receives the ball in the area, cuts off Aguerd’s mark, who seems dazed by the Jamaican striker’s disconcerting dribbling and gives space to the precise shot. Great goal. Anyway, great!
