Where can I watch it?
Aston Villa had the opportunity to keep the second position in the English league but drew 0-0 with one of the poorest teams, Everton.
It was a close match, where the Villans confirmed that they are not so reliable away, scoring 15 points in 11 games. The worst thing is that they could not beat the Toffees, who have only reached 11 points at home.
The team coached by Unai Emery was better on the pitch but failed to show that superiority on the scoreboard.
Villa is fourth with 43 points, while Everton is 17th with 17 points and is still fighting not to be relegated.
