IT WAS was honours even after Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz’s late equaliser cancelled out Ivan Toney’s strike in front of 17,098 at the Community Stadium on Saturday afternoon.

Unai Emery’s visitors came into the clash having won their previous five matches but the draw left them five points behind fourth-placed Newcastle, who now have two games in hand, as Villa missed an opportunity to advance their claim for a Champions League spot.
