In the match of the tenth round of the English Premier League, West Ham hosted Aston Villa and won a difficult victory with a minimal advantage in the score (2: 1).

Despite the superiority of the guests in possession of the ball and the number of created chances, the “hammers” managed to hold back the final assault of the opponent.

By the way, Aston Villa could get at least a draw in this match, when in the 74th minute the main referee of the meeting appointed a penalty to West Ham, but striker Ollie Watkins hit the crossbar.

Already in stoppage time, the same Watkins sent the ball into the hammer's net from the field, but the VAR system recorded an insignificant offside position for the Aston Villa forward.
