West Ham ride their luck to beat Aston Villa

London: West Ham United climbed to fifth in the Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa on Monday as for the second successive home game they benefited from a missed penalty. Goals by Angelo Ogbonna and Jarrod Bowen at the start of each half earned West Ham the points, although Villa will rue an Ollie Watkins penalty that rattled the crossbar. Watkins thought he had made amends in stoppage time but his close-range goal was ruled out by VAR for a marginal offside decision. Jack Grealish had levelled in the 25th minute. In another match, Fulham defeated Leicester City 2-1. Agencies
