Bournemouth and Aston Villa Draw 1-1

Aston Villa and Bournemouth played to a dramatic 1-1 draw at Villa Park, with Bournemouth's Evanilson scoring a last-gasp equaliser in the 96th minute. Villa had taken the lead through Ross Barkley, who scored his first goal since January 2021, but their earlier goal by John McGinn was disallowed by VAR due to an offside. Bournemouth's goalkeeper Mark Travers was pivotal in the match, making seven crucial saves to keep his side in the game. The match saw a total of 13 yellow cards issued, highlighting a tense atmosphere. Evanilson's late header came from a free-kick by Marcus Tavernier, frustrating Villa's hopes of securing all three points. This result continues Villa's impressive run since Unai Emery's appointment, while Bournemouth salvaged a vital point after a tough match.
