Said it at half time, #AVFC having a high line with no pressure on the passer is risky - especially when they have Senesi, who has created the most chances of any defender. Kroupi scores but is narrowly offside. Maybe time for some pace in the form of Bailey and Maatsen

Bournemouth have tweaked things since the break. Essentially dropped every player back one - means Senesi doesn't need to follow Rogers anymore and can stay in his position as Scott is screening him. #AVFC struggling as a result.

GOAL: Rayan equalises for Bournemouth. He was allowed to stroll into the penalty box and beat Emi Martinez at the near post. Lucas Digne has to do much better to stop him. Bournemouth 1-1 #AVFC

Goal, Rayan. 1-1 Trouble came down #AVFC's left and they couldn't deal with it.

HT: Villa lead at the break thanks to Morgan Rogers' 10th goal of the season across all competitions. Lovely work from Jadon Sancho before Rogers beat Djordje Petrovic. Strong first half from Villa, with options on the bench to hopefully see it out… Bournemouth 0-1 #AVFC

HT: Bournemouth 0-1 #AVFC Hosts are a threat - Villa's high line against willing runners and passers in behind is dangerous. But movement of Sancho & Rogers has been excellent on transition,while Douglas Luiz & Onana are battling well. Villa been savvy in trying to calm the game

Onana is hobbling and has been trying to run it off, but he's struggling and has gone down. #AVFC

Always felt Sancho would far better off the right. He's not taking up the positions a typical right winger would, though. He's drifting inside at times, replicating Buendia, with Rogers running behind. System becomes a 4-2-2-2 and #AVFC can find Sancho on the half turn. Very good

Martinez's parries have picked out Evanilson twice so far - good follow-up save, however. Subsequent corner results in Rayan hitting the crossbar. Bournemouth have had their chances. #AVFC

Emphatic from Rogers. He was the player who was/is always free in this system against this Bournemouth set-up. He was picked out on the other side of the box a minute before and was found again, shooting into the roof of the net. 1-0 #AVFC
