REUTERS: Wolverhampton Wanderers boosted their Champions League qualification hopes with a 1-0 West Midlands derby win at Aston Villa on Saturday as Leander Dendoncker grabbed a 62nd minute winner.

The loss is another blow for Villa in their battle against relegation and leaves them second from bottom on 27 points. The decisive moment came when Raul Jimenez swung a ball in from the left flank and Jonny did well to set up Dendoncker to curl the ball home.

NEWCASTLE, England: Aston Villa substitute Ahmed El Mohamady scored with seven minutes remaining to give his beleaguered side a potential lifeline from relegation as they claimed a point in a 1-1 Premier League draw at Newcastle United on Wednesday. Villa remained in the bottom two but will be buoyed by their fightback at St James' Park after substitute Dwight Gayle had put the home team in front in the 68th minute. Newcastle, who beat Sheffield United 3-0 on Sunday in their first game after the COVID-19 lockdown, stayed in 13th place as they advanced to 39 points from 31 games. Villa are on 27 points, having drawn two of three games played in a seven-day spell after the league’s return to action. Gayle had only been on for a minute when fellow replacement Andy Carroll provided a telling cross to allow him to score but El Mohamady steered home a glancing header from a corner in the 83rd minute to earn Villa a point. Villa had made a lively start but Mahmoud Trezeguet missed … [Read more...] about El Mohamady strikes as Villa fight back to draw at Newcastle

LONDON: Relegation-threatened West Ham United's Premier League survival bid could be decided in their final game against fellow strugglers Aston Villa, manager David Moyes said on Tuesday (Jun 30). West Ham are 17th in the standings with 27 points with seven games to play, ahead of Bournemouth and Aston Villa in 18th and 19th due to a higher goal difference. However, the London club are without a win since the season resumed after the COVID-19 hiatus, having lost both their matches ahead of Wednesday's game against fourth-placed Chelsea. "I always thought it could, always felt there was a good possibility of that when you looked at the fixtures," Moyes told reporters in a virtual news conference when asked about a potential relegation decider on the final day. "The big thing first though is to win our next four or five games and make sure we are a Premier League club." Moyes said midfielder Mark Noble would be crucial to West Ham's fortunes with the 33-year-old having had … [Read more...] about Football: West Ham’s top-flight future could be decided on final day, says Moyes
