SAVE! Wilson should have scored again. Barnes breaks away from Villa's defence and into the end of a pass from Joelinton. He dribbles forward with possession and waits for support, slotting a pass across to Wilson. He is free in the middle but has his shot from close range blocked by the legs of Martinez.
