On February 10, Beijing time, the 24th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa drew 3-3 with Leeds United. Brazilian star Coutinho broke out again, contributing 1 goal and 2 assists at half-time!
Coutinho, who is worth 160 million euros, joined Aston Villa on loan from Barca in the winter window this year to join former Liverpool teammate Gerrard. As soon as he returned to the Premier League, he regained his feelings, coming on as a substitute against Manchester United and passing to help Villa draw the Red Devils 2-2.
Against Everton, Kuri did not continue to score, but returned to Brazil for the World Preliminary Round, breaking the Paraguay goal and continuing the competitive form. So back to Villa Park, home to Leeds United, the Brazilian star broke out again.
In the opening 9 minutes, former Manchester United winger Daniel James opened the scoring. In the 30th minute, Kash's cross from the right was met by Coutinho inside the penalty area and a low right-footed shot into the net to equalise for Villa! Scored his second goal since returning to the Premier League.
In the 38th minute, Coutinho sent a clever straight through the Leeds United defence, and Jacob Ramsey's left-footed shot broke the goal, 2-1! In the 43rd minute, it was still Ku bird, a timely split, assisted Jacob Ramsey to score twice, 3-1!
This is the second time since December 2017 against Brighton that Coutinho has scored 1 goal and 2 assists in a single premier league game! Returning to the Premier League and playing only 3 games, he contributed 2 goals and 3 assists (there are also data websites that manchester United did not directly assist that game), and made 5 goals alone. It can be seen that it is not that the ability of the Kubird is not good, but it is not suitable for Barca's tactical play and system.
In the 78th minute, Coutinho was replaced by Ashley Young, and his burst did not bring Villa a victory. Leeds United scored twice in a row: Daniel James scored twice and Diego Llorente equalised. After a goal battle, the two teams finally shook hands 3-3.
