West Ham earns a deserved point at Villa
Emerson's second-half header earned West Ham United a 1-1 draw with Aston Villa, as Graham Potter's team produced a much-improved display at Villa Park.
The wing-back crept around the back to nod Edson Alvarez's cross home on 70 minutes as Villa's midweek UEFA Champions League exploits seemed to catch up with them.
An excellent Jacob Ramsey goal had given the hosts the lead inside 10 minutes before they lost defender Tyrone Mings to a worrying knee injury.
But Unai Emery's side appeared to run out of gas after half-time and the Hammers came on strong, with Danny Ings and Lucas Paqueta both going close to a winner.
The draw sees West Ham move 11 points clear of the bottom three, while Villa remains eighth, four points behind fourth-placed Manchester City.
