We can talk about Premier League corruption, VAR being unfit for purpose, the vile, negative tactics of opponents being hailed as progression, and all of that can be true. Still at the end of the day, it's not meant to be for Villa and probably never will be again. So we just have to enjoy the journey, even if it ultimately leads nowhere.

Villa take the lead after a slack Everton defensive pass is smashed into the back of the net by Ebony Salmon, but concede the equaliser just four minutes later, before conceding the winner in the final minute of the 90’ to leave Natalia Arroyo with five defeats in seven WSL games.

Villa suffered the disappointment of conceding in the last minute of their PL2 fixture at Stratford Town to rob them of a deserved second successive win.

What is it about Villa drawing unpopular teams? First, RB Leipzig 🇩🇪, then Maccabi Tel Aviv 🇮🇱 and now the bete noire of Austrian football, Red Bull Salzburg 🇦🇹. Despite Red Bull's billions, the real Salzburg (pictured) still hold the high-water mark for the club: runners-up to Inter Milan 🇮🇹 in the 1994 UEFA Cup final.

Villa's u21 attacking midfielder Charlie Pavey has joined Hereford on loan. Charlie follows the steps that teammate I-Lani Edwards took earlier in the season and is scheduled to be with the National League North outfit for the rest of the season.

Villa's 18-year-old double-winning centre-midfielder Alfie Lynskey has signed a new contract with the club.
