In fact, Everton’s 2-2 draw with Liverpool on Saturday meant they were the only Premier League team not to drop a point yet in 2020/21.

For the much of the game against Leicester, it looked as though both teams would leave with a share of the spoils. The two sides huffed and puffed for a winner, but the final ball wasn’t quite there, with Villa arguably the more dangerous team.

Just as it appeared as though both Dean Smith and Brendan Rodgers were content with a point, Ross Barkley struck from distance in stoppage time, finding the bottom corner.

It was a brilliant response to the unforgettable 7-2 victory over Liverpool in their last outing, leaving fans dreaming of what the team could achieve this season, following such a great start.

These Villa supporters took to Twitter to react to the win, with positivity the order of the day.
