Leon Bailey spent only 21 minutes on the pitch, but his cameo was vital for the landslide victory
Everton have started a season with some fine performances, but eventually, they suffered a terrible 3-0 loss to Aston Villa today at Villa Park.
It's even more shocking if we know it came after a goalless opening period. Matty Cash struck his first Villa goal 20 minutes into the second half. The Birmingham-based club doubled their lead three minutes later when Lucas Digne scored an own goal after a substitute Leon Bailey's corner.

⏰ 75' | 3-0#AVFC blow #EFC away with a sensational second-half spell at Villa Park!
Things got even better for Villa and Bailey as he placed it following the Danny Ings' pass to fire in a third for the hosts before he departed due to injury.
The result moves Villa to 10th in the Premier League, while Everton's first defeat leaves them in fifth place ahead of the weekend's remaining fixtures.
Jamaican star @leonbailey came from the bench to score his 1st goal in the Premier League today in the #AstonVilla's win by 3-0 over #Everton. He was subbed out in the 82th min cause an injury. Get well soon, Bailey!
