Aston Villa displayed a dominant performance, guided by Matty Cash’s two-goal contribution, to maintain Burnley’s point-less streak since their return to the Premier League.
After a disappointing 5-1 loss to Newcastle in their first match, Villa made a remarkable comeback, clinching three consecutive wins across various competitions.
Matty Cash, a recent addition to the squad, emerged as the star player at Turf Moor, showcasing his prowess with two exceptional goals, highlighting Unai Emery’s team’s exceptional quality.
Villa wasted no time in asserting their dominance, breaking through Burnley’s defense after just seven minutes. Ollie Watkins embarked on a skillful run and executed a perfectly placed chip to the back post, where Matty Cash expertly poked the ball into the net.
The second goal showcased brilliant teamwork, as Poland international Matty Cash found the back of the net with a skillful volley. The goal stemmed from a precise cutback by summer signing Moussa Diaby, who once again displayed his impressive abilities.
However, the hosts, led by Vincent Kompany, quickly retaliated after the halftime interval. Lyle Foster displayed impressive composure, swiveling past defenders and calmly slotting the ball into the net, marking his first top-tier goal.
Burnley exhibited a much-improved performance in the second half, applying significant pressure on Villa. Yet, Villa’s counter-attacking strategy bore fruit, with Moussa Diaby sealing the deserved victory with a superbly executed goal.
Burnley’s Sky Bet Championship title was built upon an unbeaten streak of 21 home matches. However, their return to the Premier League has been marred by consecutive defeats at Turf Moor.
