Even though they had troubles – especially during the first half – Aston Villa recorded a vital victory in their battle for the EPL spot, which will lead to the Champions League next season, by beating Southampton on the road 3-0.The Saints skilfully held out until the 73rd minute but conceded three goals by the end of the game. And while all the Villans’ players will gladly remember their win at St. Mary’s Stadium, one of them will have nightmares.You can never doubt the champion! At least, while De Bruyne is here…Marco Asensio managed to waste not one but two penalties, or better said, Aaron Ramsdale stopped both of his efforts! The Spaniard missed the first spot-kick four minutes before Ollie Watkins’ opener and then took the second in added time, trying to redeem himself, which didn’t work out well.Marco Asensio missed two penalties in the same match with Aston Villa ❌😱 pic.twitter.com/9Fqq64ON4F— Pubity Sport (@pubitysport) April 12, 2025 Luckily for him, Donyell Malen netted six minutes after Watkins, while John McGinn scored off a rebound following the second penalty miss, making it 3-0.Asensio thus became the fourth player to miss two penalties in one Premier League game after Juan Pablo Angel, Darren Bent, and Saido Berahino.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 32SaturdayMan.
