Download Everton vs Aston Villa 0 − 1 (Premier League 2022 Goals & Highlights)

Everton were not just managerless against Aston Villa, they were also rudderless under interim boss Duncan Ferguson following Rafael Benitez's sacking.

This was the first time since at least 2003-04 that Everton failed to record even a single shot in the first half of a match at Goodison Park in what was their 352nd home game in that span.

Gerrard enjoyed his return to Merseyside, as did Lucas Digne. The left-back only joined Villa for Everton this month and he became the first player to get a Premier League assist against the Toffees at Goodison Park having previously played for them since Nikica Jelavic in December 2014.

The defeat leaves Everton with just 19 points from 20 games this season, their lowest total at this stage of a campaign since 1997-98 (17), when they went on to record their joint-lowest ever Premier League finish of 17th.

There is a much less gloomy outlook for Villa at the moment, however, with this being Emiliano Martinez's 21st clean sheet since the start of 2020-21 – only Ederson (31) and Edouard Mendy (24) have kept more in that time.
