Villa were awarded a spot kick in the 23rd minute as Tyler Adams was adjudged to have handled in the area despite the ball touching his chest.

Meslier then produced even more heroics just two minutes later as he tipped an effort from Ollie Watkins over the bar after Coutinho had played in the striker one on one.
