Match Thread Aston Villa 0-1 Everton. Sunday 18th January 2026 @ 16:30

[Marcus Kendall]

Fully deserved 3 points that, back line were immense, Jimmy ran the show in midfield and proper naughty finish from Baz for the winner

Less of the Baz

MOYES HATERS, EAT IT!
BARRY HATERS, EAT IT! (whats that? 4 in the last 8 for him?)

Barry was tireless and got the goal, MoM for me.

Garner very close behind!

Credit to Dwight and Patto for a decent showing, Myko and JoB excellent

Grealish was anonymous for the most part but so valuable winning the Fks in the last 20 or so.

Overall - brilliant and shockingly good performance given what the manager had to play with!

EDIT: forgot Pickers!! What a stop!

MOTM Garner, in a match where very few stood out, we caught Villa on a bad day for them, they lacked any spark, maybe to do with McGinn going off early, though that doesn't take anything from an excellent result, thought the ref was poor, he was almost blowing for fouls as soon as any Everton player approached one of Villa

 

[MikeyMike]

4 points off the RS in 4th. Unbelievable when you compare our squad with theirs

 

[Telford-Feb-85]

3 in midfield that can play. who'd havs thought that might win you games

 

[Mase]

Massive. Another great away win! 4 points from 4th

Armstrong made no contact with the ball and nobody was impacted by his position. If the officials gave it as a foul against O'Brien then it would be in line with football being a non contact sport in the modern game but at least it would have made some sort of sense.

He made a clear attempt to play the ball. It’s clearly offside and bizarre people don’t see that.

 

[Taifi gorm]

Best defensive displays have been with that CB pairing.

 

[Mase]

Armstrong has been great

 

[Alex Young`s Cat]

Three points off 5th and only 4 behind the RS, with us getting players back. Great commitment from the boys today

 

[Benicetoourboys]

Our bonkers club is great at times

 

[WilliamBoo]

And now, Moyes's supporters are on the rise all week long.

 

[canuckblue]

Hard to believe we hadn't beaten Villa in the league since 2016. Long overdue.

 

[NathDogg]

Brilliant win, can’t fault any of the players tonight, worked so hard for each other.

Motm Jimmy G - just outstanding, edges out Barry, who was superb for us tonight.

Keep looking upwards and going for Europe please Everton, and pls get the home form sorted out.

Great from Garner and Pickford today
