On Saturday, the battles of the "Premier League" began at Goodison Park stadium, where the just parted ways with Rafa Benitez's "Everton" team met the incoming "Aston Villa" team. Returning to the former stronghold, Steven Gerrard triumphed with "Aston Villa" 1-0. In the first half, the teams exchanged opportunities, but the goal came during added time in the first half. After a successful corner kick by Lucas Digne, Emiliano Buendia struck the ball perfectly and scored a goal. After the goal, "Everton" fans threw a bottle of a soft drink at former player Lucas Digne, who fell to the ground after the hit. The bottle also hit another defender from the visiting team, Matty Cash. In the second half, "Everton" team had better chances and at one point the hosts were really pressing the opponents' goal, dominating the match. However, it did not bear fruit and the "Aston Villa" players triumphed in the match. After this victory, "Aston Villa" briefly surpassed the "Leicester City" team in the league table and rose to 10th place. "Everton" remains in 16th place.
