"Watkins slides home! Villa catch West Ham on the counter as Onana wins it back. Rogers charges free and his low shot is on target but doesn't have much power on it. Hermansen pushes it straight out to Watkins who slides in and finishes really well under pressure. 2-0 to Villa. That should be game over just when West Ham looked like making it 1-1."
"West Ham miss a big chance to make it 1-1. A cross into the box falls to Pablo about 10 yards out but he lashes the ball way over the bar."
"Villa should be ahead by more as they have battered West Ham for most of the first half. Watkins has gone close on several occasions."
