HT: Villa are level with Sociedad at the break. George Hemmings - who was brilliant in the first half - opened the scoring, before Carlos Soler equalised. Brian Madjo has bullied up front, with Matty Cash, Joao Gomes and Modou Cisse all doing well too. #AVFC 1-1 Real Sociedad

GOAL: Carlos Soler equalises for Real Sociedad. A bit of a mix-up between Tyrone Mings and Marco Bizot allowed the former West Ham midfielder to score after Villa's 'keeper made an initial save. #AVFC 1-1 Real Sociedad

George Hemmings spent pre-season working on his finishing with both feet, knowing he needed to add more goal involvements to his game. #AVFC/Emery like him further forward, in the left 10 and consider him the academy's best talent

#AVFC midfielder Tommi O'Reilly in talks to join Notts County on loan. Was close to moving to Sheffield Wednesday last week but it was decided against following discussions. At 22 and after an impressive loan last season, O'Reilly should receive good game-time in League One.
