Ashley Young has scored with only seconds of injury time remaining to give Aston Villa a 3-2 win at Everton and move the team into fifth place in the Premier League.
Everton had looked to have earned a draw when defender Joleon Lescott scored his team’s second equaliser just 30 seconds earlier, but Young burst through the middle, slalomed past Lescott and hit a right-foot shot past goalkeeper Tim Howard.
The finish was similar to his goal that had put Villa ahead 2-1 in the 54th and had looked likely to be the winner until Lescott scored his second goal of the game with a spectacular volley.
Everton’s second loss in eight matches leaves it in eighth place on 22 points, one place and one point behind Portsmouth, which drew 1-1 at bottom side West Bromwich Albion.
