Welcome to the Sky Sports Premier League podcast.
Super Sunday came from Villa Park this week where Aston Villa were taking on Everton.
This is how we saw things at full time.
And we heard from James Tarkovsky at half-time, didn't we, Ashley, about what Everton's game plan was and was going to continue to be in that second half, and they executed it perfectly.
That's exactly what they'd done.
Tarky said at half-time they've got to stay in their shape and try and keep Aston Villa down to having no shots and frustrating them.
They managed to do that, and when the chance came, it was a fantastic finish from Tino Barry.
You know, to be honest, I think Emi Martinez, goalkeeper, has got to have a look at himself and do better on the shot from Adon McNeill.
But, you know, Everton played this game out fantastically well and, you know, they got the three points.
And every stage of the afternoon, really, you could look at where it was disappointing for Villa, whether that be performance, whether it be individual errors, as Ashley said, whether it be what looks like a horrible injury to John McGinn or a knee injury to John McGinn.
Every way you turn, there's disappointment for Villa this afternoon.
Absolutely, Mark.
They couldn't have started any worse.
Obviously, Everton hit the post in the first few minutes.
You thought, well, that might wake them up, get them going.
Then you lose John McGinn, and they have blown an incredible opportunity to put some real pressure on Arsenal.
They didn't have the capabilities in any area today.
The performances, normally the individuals that can bail them out weren't at their best.
It was a really, really tough afternoon for Aston Villa.
They just never got it going at all.
