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.
