West Ham 1-1 Aston Villa
by Paul Donovan
at the London Stadium
WEST HAM dropped two more points against a well organised Aston Villa at the London Stadium this afternoon.
The game was just 16 minutes old when Douglas Luiz set Alex Moreno away down the left. His cross saw Ollie Watkins get ahead of Nayef Aguerd to head home.
The home side though were quickly back on level terms, when Leon Bailey forced Lucas Paqueta to the ground inside the penalty area. Said Benrahma duly despatched the resulting penalty.
