Aston Villa vs Burnley LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction

Villa register their fourth successive victory in all competitions, as they hold on against Burnley to record an important 2-1 Premier League win in the Midlands. The home side completely dominated the first half, and deservedly opened the scoring through Malen’s resounding finish. The same trend persisted in the second half, and Villa doubled their lead, thanks to another superb effort from Malen. However, Burnley found a late route back into the match with Ugochukwu’s close-range header. Nevertheless, Villa protected their lead to secure three points, moving up to 13th, while Burnley stay 18th. Emery’s men posted a far higher expected goals (xG) tally of 1.37 to Burnley’s 0.42. They also took 15 shots, compared to the visitors’ five, to further emphasise their control. After the international break in the Premier League, Villa travel to Tottenham Hotspur, while Burnley host Leeds United. We hope you’ve enjoyed this live text commentary! Thank you!
