Everton 0-1 Aston Villa

EVERTON started under David Moyes where they had left off under Sean Dyche, with a 1-0 defeat. Ollie Watkins scored the game’s only goal, gifted to him by Everton in what was, overall, a fairly even game.

New managers who join in the middle of the season cannot be expected to make a difference in the short time they get with players before the next game comes along, so there was no real surprise that this defeat to Aston Villa was more of the same for Everton.
