Aston Villa maintained their Champions League charge with a thumping 4-1 win over West Ham UEFA
Douglas Luiz’s brace, including a second-half penalty, plus goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey moved them to fifth in the Premier League, just two points off top spot UEFA
Jarrod Bowen’s deflected effort made it 2-1 but the hosts recovered for Watkins to smash in a crucial third before Bailey wrapped things up late on UEFA
The Hammers, now five points adrift of Villa, slipped to just a third defeat of the season after struggling to match the hosts UEFA
Villa had waited long enough for a victory over the Hammers, their bogey side UEFA
They had recorded just one win in the last 10 years, a 1-0 victory when Villa were already on the slide in 2015, but under Unai Emery they are a different beast, having earned 10 straight home league wins for the first time in 30 years coming into this match UEFA
Emery put his faith in Nicolo Zaniolo, starting while he assists the Italian authorities in their investigation into alleged illegal UEFA betting activity UEFA
A Sunday afternoon slumber hung over Villa Park in the opening stages but it was roused when Alphonse Areola brilliantly turned Luiz’s 25-yard effort wide UEFA
It was a stunning save from the West Ham goalkeeper but he should have been beaten five minutes later UEFA
Moussa Diaby’s pass evaded Kurt Zouma for Watkins to turn Vladimir Coufal UEFA
The hard work done, the striker had just Areola to beat but dragged inches wide from 12 yards UEFA
The momentum was with Villa so there was little surprise when they went ahead after 30 minutes UEFA
Zaniolo and Watkins linked on the left with the England striker collecting a cute return pass to tee up Luiz on the edge of the box and he drilled low past Areola UEFA
In scoring, the midfielder became the first Villa player to net in six straight home matches in the Premier League UEFA

Villa were slicker than the Hammers, who waned in the last third with a final ball missing and Michail Antonio haphazard UEFA
Any hopes of a comeback rested on a strong start to the second half but, instead, the Hammers self-destructed after 51 minutes to gift Villa total control UEFA
There was little danger when the Hammers looked to play their way out in the corner but Lucas Paqueta’s wretched pass put Edson Alvarez in trouble UEFA
Ezri Konsa darted ahead and Alvarez clattered the defender to concede a penalty which Luiz coolly converted UEFA
It looked like a Villa cruise but the visitors pulled a goal back out of the blue five minutes later when Bowen’s shot from 25 yards clipped Pau Torres and rolled in the corner UEFA

Yet Villa ended any hopes of a recovery with 16 minutes left UEFA
The Hammers had the hosts on the ropes briefly but were caught out by John McGinn’s long ball to Watkins UEFA
The striker, fresh from his winner for England against Australia during the international break, still had plenty to do but sold a dummy to Zouma before drilling into the roof of the net from an angle UEFA
Substitute Bailey then wrapped up the points with a minute left, collecting Youri Tielemans’ pass, sidestepping Aguerd and finding the top corner UEFA

Gabriel Jesus believes he can finally win the Champions League and has told his Arsenal team-mates to share the faith UEFA
The Brazil forward has a love affair with Europe’s premiere club competition and was the difference-maker as Arsenal won 2-1 at Sevilla on Tuesday night UEFA
Jesus provided a moment of magic to lay on the opening goal for compatriot Gabriel Martinelli before curling home a fine individual effort – although his celebrations were curtailed as he limped off with 10 minutes to go UEFA
The former Manchester City striker, who came off the bench when Pep Guardiola’s side lost the 2021 Champions League final to Chelsea, has a phenomenal strike-rate in the competition – his goal at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium was his 23rd in 41 appearances for City and Arsenal UEFA
He still harbours ambitions of winning the trophy and feels it is something he and his colleagues can achieve this season UEFA
“It’s a competition that I love,” he said after his man-of-the-match display UEFA
“All the competitions I love, because I just love to play UEFA football UEFA
But I don’t know, since day one in the Champions League, my debut, I scored goals UEFA
Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe UEFA
If we don’t believe, we cannot be hereGabriel Jesus“I haven’t won it yet, so I am looking for this, for this beautiful trophy UEFA
Obviously it is not easy, but I think we have to believe UEFA
If we don’t believe, we cannot be here UEFA
”While his goal was a moment to savour, Jesus’ role in Martinelli’s opening effort will live long in the memory as a deft touch took two Sevilla midfielders out of the game UEFA
A perfectly-weighted slide-rule pass played in Martinelli who, having missed a golden chance to break the deadlock earlier in the game, obliged with a cool finish as the two Brazil internationals combined to great effect UEFA
“I think for me as the type of player I am, I drop a lot more on the left side than the right side,” Jesus replied when asked about his relationship and understanding playing alongside Martinelli UEFA
“Obviously I drop on the right as well to help B (Bukayo Saka) and to play with B, but I drop more on the left UEFA
It works UEFA
“The wingers we have, not just Martinelli and B, but Reiss (Nelson), Leo (Trossard) and even Eddie (Nketiah) or Fabio (Vieira) when they play there, they are quality players UEFA
“I just go out wide and I try to play short passes and give them the ball, and they try to find me as well UEFA
It worked with Martinelli and I am very happy UEFA
”Mikel Arteta’s side return to domestic action when they welcome Premier League bottom club Sheffield United to the Emirates Stadium on Saturday afternoon UEFA
The Gunners are unbeaten in their opening nine league games of the campaign and Jesus could yet be involved despite limping off late on in Spain UEFA
“I felt something UEFA
Let’s see,” he said UEFA
“I did some tests with the physio, it looks not that big, but let’s see UEFA
I have a scan, maybe tomorrow UEFA
I’m pretty sure it will be nothing UEFA
