For his first start in the Premier League , Moussa Diaby was a pleasure to watch play against Wolverhampton . Aston Villa's most expensive recruit (55 million euros), struggled to regain his level of play from last year today. Active as a right striker, with Leon Bailey and Youri Tielemans in support, Moussa Diaby was the first to come to the fore. He then magnificently took a ball deflected off his left foot to open the scoring (36th). With this achievement, the 24-year-old Frenchman scored his first Premier League goal of the year. In addition to this goal, the Villans rather suffered against Wolves. Rayan Aït-Nouri could even have been the first scorer of the match. The Algerian, alone in front of Emiliano Martinez 5 meters from the goal, only found the goalkeeper. The defender thought he was offside which explained the miss.
The second half was more structured for Unai Emery's players, who took control of the match. To give himself some air, the right-back found the good idea to miss his cross. But it nevertheless ended up in the net since it lobbed the goalkeeper (65th). With this victory (2-0), Aston Villa regains its cherished fourth place at the expense of Tottenham Spurs. Wolves are taking a break after their victory before the break against Fulham.
