Aston Villa Defeat Everton 1-0 in David Moyes' Return to Goodison Park

Ollie Watkins' decisive goal highlights Everton's ongoing struggles as Moyes faces a daunting relegation battle.

  • David Moyes returned to Everton as manager after 11 years, following Sean Dyche's dismissal due to poor results.
  • Everton suffered a 1-0 home loss to Aston Villa, with Ollie Watkins scoring the only goal early in the second half.
  • The defeat leaves Everton just one point above the relegation zone, with only one win in their last 12 league games.
  • Aston Villa, who ended a five-game away losing streak, moved up to seventh in the Premier League and remain in contention for European qualification.
  • Everton's lack of attacking threat persisted, as they have scored just seven league goals from open play this season, the lowest in the division.
