Ollie Watkins on target as Aston Villa wreck Moyes' Everton homecoming

Yesterday at 04:44 PM

The second coming of David Moyes confirmed the new Everton manager is no miracle worker. But how they could do with one. Everton drew a blank for the ninth time in 11 Premier League games as Aston Villa, too savvy and assured for a relegation‑threatened opponent, ensured there would be no new managerial bounce at Goodison Park.

Ollie Watkins struck the only goal of a tight contest to give Unai Emery's side a merited win and condemn Everton to a third league defeat in succession. Dominic Calvert-Lewin had a glorious chance to level in the 93rd minute but blazed over from Jesper Lindstrøm's inviting cross.
