Late, late goals as Villa and Newcastle celebrate but Luiz sees red

TYRONE MINGS’S fortunate strike deep into stoppage time lifted Aston Villa out of the Premier League relegation zone with a 2-1 home win over fellow strugglers Watford.

Troy Deeney headed the Hornets in front on 38 minutes. The hosts, though, equalised through substitute Douglas

Luiz after 68 minutes. Deep into added time, Ezri Konsa’s shot flew off the boot of Mings and into the roof of the net – sparking wild celebrations around Villa Park.

Dean Smith’s side climb to 16th place, two points clear of the bottom three, while Watford drop back to 19th.

Substitute Florian Lejeune scored twice in stoppage time to earn Newcastle an even more remarkable 2-2 draw at Everton.

The Toffees had looked to be coasting towards victory after Moise Kean’s first goal for the club in the 30th minute was added to by Dominic CalvertLewin early in the second half.

However, with 90 minutes on the clock, Lejeune produced an acrobatic effort from a corner for his first goal for the club and then was on hand to scramble in a dramatic equaliser to earn Newcastle an unlikely point.

Arsenal recovered from the early dismissal of David Luiz on his return to Stamford Bridge as they battled to a 2-2 draw at Chelsea.

The Brazilian defender was shown a straight red card after only 26 minutes for hauling down Tammy Abraham as the

Blues forward latched onto a poor backpass from Shkodran Mustafi. Jorginho converted the resulting penalty.

Arsenal, though, hauled themselves level in the 63rd minute when 18-year-old Brazilian Gabriel Martinelli raced clear following a slip by N’Golo Kante, before Gunners forward Alexandre Lacazette saw a goal ruled out for offside.

With six minutes left, Chelsea captain Cesar Azpilicueta scored from a corner – but Arsenal skipper Hector Bellerin then guided in a low, angled shot to earn his side a point.

Bournemouth beat Brighton 3-1 to end their run of four straight Premier League defeats, thanks to goals from Harry Wilson, an own goal from Pascal Gross and Callum Wilson.

Brighton pulled a goal back through Aaron Mooy in the 81st minute.

Southampton climbed to ninth after a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace.

Nathan Redmond’s screamer put the Saints ahead on 22 minutes, with Stuart Armstrong’s fine 25-yard effort early in the second half sealing an impressive result.
