Premier League: Duran, Onana Fire Villa To Winning Start Against West Ham
West Ham United: Aston Villa got their Premier League campaign off to a winning start with a hard-fought 2-1 victory against West Ham United – the club’s first result at London Stadium. Amadou Onana marked his debut in stunning style, leaping highest to head home a corner after four minutes as the visitors made a dream start.
Unai Emery’s side created a host of chances to extend their lead before they were pegged back by Lucas Paquetá’s penalty after 37 minutes. An end-to-end second half followed, with Jhon Duran climbing off the bench to make himself a hero when he slotted the winner 11 minutes from time.
Youri Tielemans sent an inswinging corner into the box and after losing his marker, Belgian compatriot Onana headed home at the near post. A sharp start from the visitors almost produced a second goal when Morgan Rogers drove at the Hammers’ defence, but his low shot was parried away by Alphonse Areola.
