Ollie Watkins Double Helps Aston Villa Win Seven-goal Thriller At Brighton

There’s something about Unai Emery and thrilling comebacks. The Aston Villa manager believes that he became a better coach after witnessing his Paris Saint-Germain side surrender a three-goal lead against Barcelona in 2017 in the Champions League game that became known as La Remontada. This time, however, it was the Spaniard who had the last laugh as Villa hit back with two goals for Ollie Watkins on his recall to the side before Amadou Onana and Donyell Malen condemned Brighton to their first home defeat of the season.

Fabian Hürzeler had talked up his side’s chances of challenging for the top four after three wins in their previous four matches. But having raced into a two-goal lead thanks to Jan Paul van Hecke’s controversial opener and an own goal from Pau Torres, his side showed they remain naive at the back despite the captain, Lewis Dunk, making his 500th appearance for the club. Hürzeler was still a youth player at Bayern Munich when Dunk made his first in League One against Port Vale back in 2010 and the German is still searching for consistency after a promising start to the season.
