Bournemouth registered their HIGHEST amount of possession at a home Premier League game this season on Saturday, having the ball 69% of the time. Unai Emery's game-plan meant that his side didn't need much of the ball, and with Iraola's men consistently coming up against a disciplined and well-oiled unit, Aston Villa out-Bournemouthed Bournemouth.

It felt like a very un-Villa like performance, but it would have been everything their Basque boss wanted - resolute at the back, not giving our wingers anything, and when you’ve got someone like Ollie Watkins on hand to sniff out a goal, they then had something to hold on to. From that point, it was always an uphill battle!

Sam Davis, Ben Phillips and Neil Dawson discuss the game!
