Aston Villa moves into fourth place in the Premier League

Villa's decisive victory over the bottom-of-the-table Blades at Bramall Lane helped them move up above Tottenham. After 12 minutes, John McGinn's touch into the empty net after Ollie Watkins' attempt struck the post gave Unai Emery's team the lead. Leon Bailey scored as well three minutes later with a curler into the top corner, and Watkins added the second four minutes later after Douglas Luiz's ball found him.

At the thirty-minute mark, Youri Tielemans' shot went in off the crossbar, making Villa the first away club to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League match since Chelsea against Bolton in 2011. Alex Moreno volleyed number five two minutes after halftime, demonstrating Emery's team's lack of compassion. Leaders Liverpool, who play third-place Arsenal on Sunday, are five points ahead of Villa.
