For Aston Villa, the draw has to feel like a loss.

Until their goal, Bournemouth’s best opportunity had been a hopeful Justin Kluivert long-range shot that was tipped over by Emiliano Martinez in the first half.

The hosts went ahead through Barkley, who netted his first goal since returning to the club from Luton in the summer, having previously played for Villa on a loan from Chelsea in the 2020-21

But Thomas Frank’s side rallied and got themselves back into the game with two goals before half-time.

“Being completely honest,

The 19-year-old midfielder then almost turned provider, brushing off a defender to feed 17-year-old Chris Rigg, who stung the palms of Cumming with his strike.

Oxford had their first shot just moments before half-time, with Idris El Mizouni cutting inside from the left and belting the ball at Simon Moore in the Black Cats goal.

City fans unveiled a banner before kick-off in boss Pep Guardiola’s native Catalan saying they want him to stay. His contract expires at the end of his season and he has been non-committal on his future.

It is an undeniable fact that Manchester City are a better team with defensive midfielder Rodri starting.

Before Preston’s second-half onslaught, the first period was a scrappy, tight affair with few chances.

Preston grew into the game, with deliveries from lively right wing-back Kaine Kesler-Hayden and Ben Whiteman causing problems.

The Potters came flying out the traps in the opening stages and Ben Wilmot crashed an effort off the crossbar from just outside the box after just 30 seconds.

It set the tone for a blistering performance and the home side got their reward when Cannon’s dipping free-kick bounced just in front of Pompey goalkeeper Will Norris, who got a hand to his effort but could not keep it out.

The Lopetegui era has got off to a stuttering start with one win, one draw and two defeats in his opening four Premier League games, but there are reasons to be optimistic.

However, that last minute equaliser from Ings may feel like progress in some sense and the Hammers can take huge positives from the fighting spirit shown late on.

Lopetegui’s arrival signalled a change in how the Hammers would
