Aston Villa came from two down to beat Everton 3-2 at Villa Park thanks to a wonder goal from substitute Jhon Duran.
Villa's early dominance of the game had been utterly undone when Amadou Onana was dispossessed by former team-mate Dwight McNeil who then found the corner of Emiliano Martinez's net to leave the home supporters stunned.
Before long it was two. McNeil's right-wing free-kick was headed in from close range by Dominic Calvert-Lewin with Emiliano Martinez nowhere. A two-goal lead yet again for Everton and an opportunity to make amends for that extraordinary capitulation at home to Bournemouth last time out.
They blew it. Villa pulled one back before the break through Ollie Watkins and when Calvert-Lewin squandered an excellent one-on-one chance, Everton were punished. Watkins levelled when the stretching Jack Harrison only diverted the ball into his path.
Duran then settled it with an outrageous long-range strike soon after coming off the bench.
Martinez was left awe-struck at the other end and really would have been stunned had Calvert-Lewin not seen his shot hit the underside of the bar late on.
