Aston Villa 3-1 Bournemouth: Come-from-behind win keeps Villa's top-four bid on track

Aston Villa came from behind to beat Bournemouth and keep their bid for a top-four finish and Champions League football on track.

Just three days after booking their place in the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League with a penalty shootout win against Lille, Villa had to refocus as they push for their highest Premier League finish in 28 years.

It did not begin well, though, as Bournemouth were handed the chance to take the lead from the penalty spot when Matty Cash brought down Milos Kerkez, and top-scorer Dominic Solanke made no mistake from 12 yards.
