Obviously it's been a tough two weeks, but surely we've all seen plenty to feel confident going forward. We didn't collapse to a loss today; I imagine all Everton fans expected us to concede a few today, but we were unlucky to lose in the end. We are scoring goals and when Jarrad Branthwaite is back up and running, we will get our 10 wins.

FT: Aston Villa 3-2 Everton
Aston Villa
Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins, speaking to MOTD: "It was an entertaining game, end-to-end at times - a lot of goals and chances.
"A good game to watch as a fan and a nice game to play in. These are the games you want to play in. We have shown great character to come from behind and get the three points."
On ending a possible goal drought: "I wouldn't say it's a drought. The start of this season I have come into it and I've had good opportunities that I've not taken, it is down to me to finish it.
"Today I did, and I have come away with two goals."
On Jhon Duran's goal: "That's what he's got in his locker, he has got a lot of ability. We have seen him score worldies before, when he comes onto the pitch he's always a handful.
"If you back yourself to shoot from that far, why not?"
FT: Aston Villa 3-2 Everton
Everton
Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin, speaking to PLP: “We’re obviously hurting a lot. It’s been very frustrating in the last two games not to take the points. At this level, you get punished for lapses in concentration. We accept responsibility, but we won’t dwell on it for too long because we go again on Tuesday.
“We are creating chances. I’ve scored in the last two games. I could have had a couple more today and I take responsibility for that, as I always do. We can’t switch off and concede silly goals.
“We are disappointed, of course we are, but we all know we can’t dwell on it for too long. I’m looking forward to the next game full of confidence. I’m pretty sure we’ll put it right.”
On his own form and fitness: “I feel great, causing problems at the top of the pitch. It’s about doing that on a consistent basis, taking chances when they come and leading the line well.
On what he would tell the Everton fans: “Stick with us. The travelling support was excellent today, as it always is. I know how they’ll be feeling at the moment, as I’m feeling the same way. We can take confidence from the performances we’ve put in in the last two games. It’s not the start we wanted, but it’s a long season.”
Let's get some more reaction as Aston Villa came from 0-2 down to win 3-2 against Everton.

Image source, Getty ImagesMidfielder Lewis Cook has racked up quite a few fouls on Cole Palmer and is on a yellow card.
He brought down the England international just before half-time again in a non-descript but clear foul.
The Blues players then surrounded referee Anthony Taylor to remonstrate the decision and they appear increasingly frustrated with the officiating team.
But their complaints were waved away as Cook is walking a tightrope after his third foul of the match.
Cherries manager Andoni Iraola will be tempted to substitute him for potentially Alex Scott at half-time as they have had the better of the half and missed a penalty through striker Evanilson.
Meanwhile, Jadon Sancho is warming up at half-time ahead of a potential debut as Petro Neto has struggled.

Like Southampton earlier today I can see Bournemouth losing this. You have got to take your chances including penalties.

Southampton missed a penalty and lost 3-0. Bournemouth might repeat same.

Chelsea are living dangerously.
Now Evanilson fizzes the ball across the six yard area but there is no one there to turn it over the line.
Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
There are lots of Bournemouth fans who believe Lewis Cook should be in the England squad. He's certainly been the driving force for his team tonight. The midfielder goes for glory from outside the penalty area...just wide.
Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
I get the feeling Enzo Maresca isn't going to mince his words at half-time. Chelsea are fortunate to still be on level terms.

Chelsea's players have been getting emotional in this match, arguing with the referee and each other.
There was an incident where Robert Sanchez and Moises Caicedo were caught in a pressing trap, Marc Cucurella has been booked for dissent and now Robert Sanchez gave away a penalty.
It wasn't the goalkeeper's fault, however, as Wesley Fofana undercooked a pass as he brought down Bournemouth's club-record £40million signing Evanilson.
Sanchez saves the penalty in a moment that may have simply been too much pressure for the Brazilian, who seems desperate to score his first Premier League goal.

Image source, Getty ImagesHow on earth can you give that as a penalty? You can't just run into the keeper initiating the contact.

Bournemouth 0-0 Chelsea
Bournemouth spent £40m for Evanilson to score goals.
He is still waiting to get off the mark for his new club.
That was a golden opportunity.

Having said that, it's still a really good save.
Evanilson makes his intentions a bit too obvious as he tries to get off the mark.

Evanilson picks himself up to take the penalty he won but his effort is kept out by the diving Chelsea keeper.
Chelsea's players rush to the keeper to congratulate him.

Evanilson does ever so well. It's just all about getting to the ball first. Sanchez knows he is in bother there.
More than enough contact between keeper and striker to warrant a penalty.

Oh wow!

Bournemouth are bullying Chelsea a bit here. Nervous times for us Chelsea fans.

Bournemouth are winless in five Premier League meetings with Chelsea (D2 L3), having won three of their previous four against the Blues prior to this (L1).
Chelsea have lost just one of their seven Premier League away games against Bournemouth (W4 D2), with three of their four defeats in the competition against the Cherries coming at Stamford Bridge.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in all three of their Premier League games so far this season (W1 D2) – they’ve never gone four without defeat from the start of a campaign in the competition before.
Bournemouth beat Everton 3-2 last time out, despite trailing 2-0 up to the 87th minute, the latest a team has come from 2+ goals down to win a Premier League game. It was the Cherries’ third win from 2+ goals behind since their return to the competition in 2022, more than any other team in that time.
Chelsea have won each of their last three Premier League away games, last having a longer run between February and April 2022 (4).
Chelsea have conceded at least once in each of their last 17 Premier League away games, shipping 36 goals in total in this run. Only once have they had a longer run without a clean sheet on the road in the competition, going 24 games between January 1993 and February 1994.
Both Bournemouth and Chelsea have scored a joint league-high four second half goals in the Premier League this season. All four of Bournemouth’s have been in the final five minutes of games (86th minute onwards), while all four of Chelsea’s came in their only away game so far against Wolves.
Chelsea’s Premier League win rate in August is 61.1%, their highest in any month excluding June/July, while it drops to 47.8% in September (their second-lowest). Excluding June and July, only Arsenal have a bigger such drop from one month to the next among ever-present sides in the competition (61.4% in October, 45.4% in November).
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo has had more shots than any other Premier League player this season (17). Meanwhile, Semenyo (17 shots, 4 chances created) and teammate Marcus Tavernier (12 shots, 9 chances created) have been directly involved in 21 attempts so far, with only Kevin De Bruyne (23) being involved in more in the division.
As well as having the most assists so far (4), no player has created more big chances than Chelsea’s Cole Palmer in the Premier League this season (4). Palmer is averaging a goal (23) or assist (15) every 76 minutes in the competition for Chelsea, the second-best rate of any player with at least 1,000 minutes for a specific club (behind only Erling Haaland, one every 67 with Man City).
