Jarrod Bowen’s header helped West Ham move up to fifth with a 2-1 victory over Aston Villa, who missed a penalty and had a late goal ruled out for offiside.
The Hammers took the lead in the second minute, Angelo Ogbonna climbing highest from a Bowen corner to send a towering header into the net.
With 25 minutes gone Jack Grealish’s on-target shot took a slight deflection off Ogbonna’s boot and flew into the West Ham net to make the score 1-1.
A minute after half-time, a fluent passing move from the hosts ended with Bowen flicking in a deft header following a cross from Said Benrahma, who made an impact only 30 seconds after coming on as a half-time substitute.
After Declan Rice fouled Trezeguet in the penalty area with 16 minutes remaining, Ollie Watkins crashed the resulting spot-kick against the crossbar.
Watkins did have the ball in the net in stoppage time but his effort was overturned for offside following a VAR review as West Ham claimed their third straight win.
West Ham climb to fifth on 17 points while Villa drop to 10th on 15 points.
