Brighton 1-2 Aston Villa
at Falmer Stadium
by Gene Sylvester

UNAI EMERY’S Aston Villa came away from the south coast with an invaluable three points following a pulsating game at the Falmer Stadium.

Danny Ings was the Villains’ hero on the day, bagging both goals as Emery’s troops fought back from an early setback to win the game 2-1, in a match that was littered with contentious refereeing decisions and VAR checks.

The victory gave Villa their first back-to-back wins since May, which Emery believes will give his players the belief to push on after the World Cup break.
