Coutinho shines again in Aston Villa thriller

Philippe Coutinho has put in another impressive showing for Aston Villa in an exciting 3-3 draw against Leeds United on Wednesday in the Premier League.

The Brazilian was making just his second start for the Villans but picked up a goal and two assists at Villa Park in an eventful encounter.

Leeds had gone ahead through an early goal by Dan James but were pegged back when Coutinho equalized after half an hour.

Coutinho was found in the penalty area, took a touch and then slipped a low shot across goal and past keeper Meslier.
