Jonathan Liew was at Villa Park. His report has landed. Here it is! Thanks for reading this MBM.

Ollie Watkins reflects from Villa’s perspective. “It’s similar to the Leicester game … we had a good start … I dunno what happened … you have to look back and go over it, but in the moment you don’t know what happened … a good team punished us … I don’t know what went wrong … 2-2 with five minutes to go, we should see the game out, I don’t think they should score two goals … Jorginho’s goal was lucky … but they had a lot of the ball and kept putting pressure on us … it’s disappointing at the end of the day … it’s fine margins, another day [Leon Bailey’s shot] goes in and it’s 3-2 and we see the game out, but it wasn’t meant to be and we’ve lost here again.”
