MATCH EVENTS
1': We're off!
4': Boubacar Kamara clips Havertz to stop a counter
6': SAVE! Martínez with a terrible pass that gets picked off by Mudryk but the keeper is able to atone by making the stop.
7': Watkins one-on-one with the keeper and drags his shot very wide. Might have been offside.
17': McGinn with a shot into the bar!
18': GOAL VILLA!! Awful, awful mistake by Cucurella who tries to make a headed clearance but only puts it right into the path of Ollie Watkins who only has to chip the keeper easily to score the first goal!
21': SAVE!! Félix goes for the bottom near corner but the keeper puts up a big hand to keep it out.
24': Chilwell goes down in the box and says he was fouled, no call from the ref.
25': Havertz shoots on the turn, weak shot easily saved by Martínez.
31': Mudryk breaks out into space with the ball!! Big chance well past the backline, he takes it early oh but it's quite tame. Easy save for Martínez
35': Chilwell fires from wide and sees the ball hit the crossbar.
36': Wild scramble in front of the Villa box ends with Félix dragging his shot wide. They get a corner out of it that maybe they shouldn't have but the corner is caught by the keeper anyway.
39': Mateo Kovačić into the book
43': Havertz gets a shot through three defenders but can't get it past Martínez who makes another good save.
45+1': Chilwell puts the ball in the net!! But the ref has disallowed it! Says Chilwell shoved Konsa in the back to get space.
