Aston Villa picked up their first Premier League points of the season as Danny Ings and Emiliano Buendía scored in a 2-1 win over Everton
As Gerrard celebrated Lampard was left to ponder what might have been with a more decisive substitution. Doucouré had signalled a hamstring problem to the Everton bench several minutes before the breakthrough. He played on, got nowhere near Ings for the goal, and exited moments later. Tom Davies replaced Everton’s third injury casualty of the season with new £33m signing Amadou Onana left waiting until the 35th minute for his debut.
The home side controlled the contest until entertainment belatedly arrived in a chaotic ending. Watkins had a good run halted on the edge of the area by a fine Davies tackle while Buendía, a replacement for the injured Coutinho, saw his scissor kick cleared off the line by Vitalii Mykolenko. The substitute gave Villa the cushion their display merited with four minutes remaining after Onana was dispossessed in the centre circle.
That appeared to that, yet the game – and Everton – exploded into life seconds later. Straight from the restart Onana burst into the Villa penalty area and centred low to the far post where former Everton defender Lucas Digne, under pressure from Alex Iwobi, bundled the ball into his own net. Villa struggled under the direct approach to Rondón. In injury time Gordon broke into the box and forced a low save from Martínez.
