Unfortunately, there's still no Bednarek or Ramsdale, but Hartwood, Bellis, Dibbling and Downs
take their place in the side in their yellow shirts with blue shorts and yellow socks.
Walker-Peters, oh he does, lovely dummy, back to Manning, low shot from Manning,
it goes across the six-yard area, nobody gets a touch when it needed it.
Maroges takes over from McGinn, he tries to thread it through, oh the goal, he's come a long way, lovely.
He took a massive risk, the referee says no penalty as Duran went down over him,
and then it's poked brilliantly to Downs, Downs on the edge of the box, goes past one, it's squared,
comes to Archer against his former club and a last-ditch block stops him scoring.
And now Villareal got through, and here comes Duran, Duran passed, lovely,
and Duran slots it past him as he comes out to the edge of the box,
and in his first start of the season, on his birthday, the Colombian gets his fifth Premier League goal of the season.
Dibbling racing, who's going to catch him? He's still got past two, he's got Archer to his left,
now against his older club, can he even do some damage? Oh, the shot is blocked again.
Great play from Manning, here comes Amo Amayor, good early cross,
and Armstrong's there and Martinez has to gather it, under pressure is him and Carlos.
And here's Ollie Watkins off the bench, he's got acres of space, he drives from the left into the penalty area,
everyone backtracking, pulls it back, and they haven't scored,
and Barkley should have scored probably for Watkins' ball, Amo Amayor can't stop Maroges,
and he can feed Watkins, and McGinn could have a tap-in if Watkins doesn't take it himself,
he tries to square it, he doesn't, he shoots, McGinn goes mad, the whole tent goes mad,
and Nathan Wood punches the air with his recovery, and the players go and congratulate him,
and he's been an absolute positive this afternoon, Nathan Wood.
And now Filippovic's going down there, and Saints are a defender short,
Filippovic on the right, and it goes back inside, and they still haven't scored Villa when they should have done,
Barkley lines it back to McGinn, lovely saves, Brereton Diaz clears, and he's fouled,
and the referee says that's it, even though Saints are still attacking by the penalty area,
he blows the whistle, a valiant effort from Saints this afternoon at Villa Park.
