Overview
- Morgan Rogers put Villa ahead before Brazilian teenager Rayan equalised on his first Bournemouth start.
- Emi Martínez made seven saves as Bournemouth generated 20 shots and 2.31 expected goals.
- The draw keeps Villa in the top places but further off the leaders, with Manchester United and Chelsea making ground in the Champions League race.
- Unai Emery restored Ollie Watkins and Amadou Onana to the starting XI among four changes from the Brentford defeat.
- The outcome fits Bournemouth’s resurgence after an 11-game winless run and follows a January window that brought in Rayan following Antoine Semenyo’s exit.
