The West Midlands derby between Aston Villa and Wolverhampton Wanderers was a thrilling affair that saw Villa come from behind to secure a 3-1 victory. Wolves, looking for their first Premier League win of the season, took the lead through a well-timed finish from Matheus Cunha, who intercepted a pass from Diego Carlos and calmly slotted the ball past Emi Martinez in the Villa goal.
Despite a dominant first half from Wolves, Villa stepped up their game in the second half, eventually finding the equalizer through Ollie Watkins, whose shot deflected off a defender and beat the goalkeeper. The momentum shifted, and Villa pushed for the win, finally finding it in the 88th minute when Youri Tielemans’ cross found the head of Ezri Konsa, who powered the ball home. Jhon Duran added a third goal in stoppage time to seal the victory for Villa.
Meanwhile, at St. Mary’s Stadium, Ipswich Town battled back from a goal down to earn a 1-1 draw against Southampton. The hosts took the lead early on through a stunning strike from 18-year-old Tyler Dibling, who found the back of the net for his first senior goal. Ipswich had their chances throughout the match, but they were unable to capitalize on their opportunities, with Southampton’s Aaron Ramsdale putting in a solid performance in goal.
However, in a dramatic turn of events deep into stoppage time, a corner was cleared to Ipswich’s Sam Morsy, whose powerful shot deflected off a defender and flew into the top corner to secure a vital point for Ipswich. The draw left both teams without a win in the Premier League this season, but it was a hard-fought result for Ipswich that showcased their resilience and fighting spirit.
