Villa drop points as Rayan fires Bournemouth leveller

Rayan scored his first English goal to equalize after Bournemouth outshot Aston Villa 13-2 in the first half but trailed until the second half at the Vitality Stadium.

  • On Saturday, AFC Bournemouth drew 1-1 with Aston Villa at the Vitality Stadium after 19-year-old Rayan scored his first English football goal to level the match.
  • After a quiet start for Villa, Morgan Rogers, Aston Villa forward, opened the scoring against the run of play, with Bournemouth outshooting Villa 13-2 in the first half.
  • After a deflected cross fell his way, Rayan calmly received James Hill's delivery, cut inside, and beat the diving Martinez from just outside the six-yard box to draw Bournemouth level.
  • Villa, now looking vulnerable after Saturday's draw, face Brighton at Villa Park on Wednesday before hosting Newcastle United in the FA Cup three days later.
  • A disallowed Kroupi goal and a penalty appeal to VAR ruled out, while Martinez made late saves to deny Christie and Kroupi, in the 1-1 draw.
