🦁 VILLA SNATCH IT LATE! ⏱️

Description: A cruel blow for Brighton! 😱 An 86th-minute own goal seals a 1-0 win for Villa! Plus: James Milner makes PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY! 📺⚽

A night of history and late drama at Villa Park! Watch the full highlights as Aston Villa secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Brighton to strengthen their grip on the top four.

While the match was tight, the headlines belonged to James Milner. The veteran midfielder came off the bench in the 22nd minute to make his 653rd Premier League appearance, equalling Gareth Barry's all-time record against his former club.

On the pitch, it was a battle of goalkeepers for much of the game. Villa's Emi Martínez produced a world-class fingertip save to deny Ferdi Kadıoğlu's rocket, pushing it onto the crossbar to keep the scores level.

Just as the game seemed destined for a draw, Villa found a way through in the 86th minute. A Leon Bailey corner was met by the head of Tyrone Mings, and the ball ricocheted off the unfortunate Jack Hinshelwood and into the net to send the Holte End into raptures.

Context: Aston Villa move to 50 points; Brighton's winless run continues.

Final Score: Aston Villa 1-0 Brighton Goalscorer: Jack Hinshelwood (OG 86') Competition: Premier League 2025/26 (Matchday 26)
