Aston Villa gave Southampton a good thrashing and Coutinho was largely to blame. The Brazilian, as almost always, left his mark on the pitch.
The playmaker had an assist and a goal in his team's win. Just in the 44th minute, Douglas Luiz scored the momentary 2-0 thanks to the former Barcelona player.
Coutinho took the ball off the line in an attacking move and received it without any problems inside the box. The Brazilian, with his first touch, combined with his compatriot and the latter scored at his pleasure.
And in the 52nd minute, the playmaker, who was having a great game, found the prize of a goal. Receiving inside the area, he cut inside his opponents and with his right foot beat the goalkeeper low down.
