Brighton & Hove Albion vs Aston Villa
Ings scored twice as Villa came from behind to beat Brighton and secure their first away victory of the season. Their torrid run on the road looked set to continue when they conceded inside a minute. Martinez was at fault, gifting the ball to Mac Allister who shrugged off Luiz before shooting past his compatriot. Growing into the game, Villa then levelled the score from the spot. Kamara found McGinn in the box, who took one touch before being tripped by Dunk. Ings gave himself the responsibility of scoring, taking the ball off Digne before firing it into the bottom corner. The former Southampton man then doubled his tally in the second half to give Villa the lead. Swapping fortunes, Luiz robbed Mac Allister of possession before sliding it towards Ings. Rolling past Dunk, the forward’s deflected strike beat Sanchez. Struggling in the attack, the home side should have equalised in the 89th-minute. Getting on the end of Mac Allister’s cross, Colwill was unmarked in the box but couldn’t hit the target from close range.
