David Moyes' return to Everton was ruined by Ollie Watkins' second-half winning goal for Aston Villa in the Premier League.
The out-of-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin could have ended his barren spell in front of goal after his run was picked out by Vitalii Mykolenko, but the Toffees number nine could not find the target with his low drive, while another poke at goal was cleared off the line by Boubacar Kamara. Dyche managed to salvage survival on two occasions, but having won only three times this season Moyes faces a colossal task to ensure the club maintains its proud record of being ever-present in the Premier League.
His best opportunity came deep in added time when Jesper Lindstrom fed a pass to Calvert-Lewin in front of goal, but the forward scooped a first-time shot over the crossbar from eight yards out, much to Moyes' and the crowd's dismay. Rogers' curling effort in the fifth minute was tipped round the post by Pickford, and when Kamara's stinging strike was also pushed away Villa may have thought they would be leaving Merseyside frustrated.
Aston Villa have lost each of their last five Premier League away games, conceding at least twice in each defeat. It’s their longest losing run on the road within a single season in the competition since losing their final seven such games of 2015-16.
