Aston Villa Triumphs Over West Ham with Dramatic Debut Goals

Amadou Onana scored early in his Premier League debut for Aston Villa, and Jhon Duran netted the decisive goal in a 2-1 victory over West Ham United. Despite Lucas Paqueta's equalizer, Villa held on, marking a successful start to their season under Unai Emery's management.

Amadou Onana made an immediate impact in his Aston Villa debut, scoring just four minutes into the game against West Ham United. His header from Youri Tielemans' corner set the tone for Villa's 2-1 victory on Saturday.

West Ham leveled the score in the 37th minute with a penalty from Lucas Paqueta, awarded after VAR revealed a foul by Matty Cash. However, Jhon Duran secured the win for Villa, netting the decisive goal late in the match.

Villa are aiming high this season, returning to the Champions League after a 41-year absence. With Onana matching Kevin Phillips' 2005 record as the joint earliest goalscorer for Villa, expectations are riding high for Emery's squad.
