Aston Villa 1-1 Bournemouth LIVE! Updates, score, analysis, highlights

Aston Villa are the lone remaining Premier League club active in this European season, but have plenty to win in the English top-flight starting with a visit from Bournemouth to Villa Park on Sunday.

The Villans outlasted Lille in penalties to reach a Europa Conference League semifinal with Olympiacos, the winner facing either Fiorentina or Club Brugge in Athens on May 29.

WATCH ASTON VILLA vs BOURNEMOUTH LIVE

Villa’s upset of Arsenal last weekend reshaped the Champions League qualifying discussion nearly as much as English clubs’ struggles in Europe, with their three-point lead over Spurs including a match-in-hand for Tottenham.

Bournemouth’s European hopes have stalled after just one point from two matches. The Cherries have made a bad habit of following up terrific form runs with winless skids, but have had a massively successful first season under Andoni Iraola.

A win at Villa Park against a side that went 120 minutes on Thursday would almost certainly make for an inspired run to the finish line.

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth live updates — By Nick Mendola

Aston Villa vs Bournemouth live score: 3-1

Goalscorers: Solanke (pen 31'), Rogers (45+1'), Diaby (56'), Bailey (78')

Double stop

Deep in stoppage Bournemouth come close to pulling within one.

Solanke and Enes Unal are denied by Emiliano Martinez.

Leon Bailey goal — Aston Villa 3-1 Bournemouth (78th minute)

It’s good stuff, this one.

Diaby cuts a short pass through traffic to Watkins, who carries past an out-charging Neto.

He’s probably trying to score from an acute angle, but Leon Bailey makes sure with a tap-in one yard out from the line.

Watkins’ 12 assists now two clear of anyone in the Premier League this season.

Moussa Diaby goal — Aston Villa 2-1 Bournemouth (56th minute)

Morgan Rogers is having a game.

He sends Ollie Watkins behind the Cherries back line, and Moussa Diaby times his run perfectly to meet Watkins’ league-best 11th assist.

Halftime — Aston Villa 1-1 Bournemouth

The Cherries will feel they deserved the lead they carried into stoppage time.

Villa’s possessed the ball but Bournemouth has counter-attacked with intent.

Both teams have seven shots and it should be a second half for anyone if Villa can keep their legs.

Morgan Rogers goal — Aston Villa 1-1 Bournemouth (45+1' minute)

Good team goal with a vicious finish.

Morgan Rogers cuts back his man inside the box and pummels a shot that is barely deterred by the top of Neto’s shoulder.

1-1.

Bournemouth penalty — Aston Villa 0-1 Bournemouth (31st minute)

Justin Kluivert finds Milos Kerkez, and Matty Cash sees only one solution and it’s incorrect.

Cash’s sliding challenge in the box misses the ball and takes out Kerkez with his back leg. Not pretty.

Dominic Solanke goes to the spot. Will Emi Martinez repeat his penalty magic? Nope, it’s an arrow from Solanke.

Villa with possession but danger at a premium

Twenty minutes gone, and just a single shot of three attempts has found a goalkeeper.

It’s Thursday’s penalty hero Emiliano Martinez with that save, and we await a bit more entertainment here.

Does Villa have the energy for rested Bournemouth?

Villa beat Arsenal and then were taken to penalties after 120 minutes with Lille, while energetic Bournemouth just watched and prepared for them. Advantage Cherries, even at Villa Park?
