Unai Emery seemed all set to celebrate his two years in charge of Aston Villa with the victory that would have kept his team within three points of Manchester City at the top of the Premier League when Evanilson, Bournemouth’s £31.7m substitute, headed an unexpected equaliser after six minutes of added time with the penultimate touch of the game.
The Brazilian, signed as Dominic Solanke’s replacement from Porto in the summer, expertly glanced a header into the far corner of Emiliano Martínez’s net from Marcus Tavernier’s free-kick with even Mark Travers, the goalkeeper who had kept Bournemouth in the game with some brilliant saves, up for the last chance.
