Cash ends club goal drought but Aston Villa remain winless

Wait 5 sec.

Matty Cash scored Aston Villa’s first Premier League goal since May to end the club’s goal drought, but Unai Emery’s team remain without a win this season.The Villans were held to a 1-1 draw at 10-man Sunderland, with Wilson Isidor cancelling out Cash’s opener from distance. Villa had opened the Premier League season without a goal in their first four games and required a speculative effort to end that drought.Afforded room to shoot, Cash let fly and the full-back’s swerving effort deceived Robin Roefs in the Sunderland goal. Villa’s 67th-minute opener arrived having been given a man advantage after Reinildo’s red card for Sunderland. The summer signing was dismissed for a petulant kick out at Cash before half-time.Matty Cash scored Aston Villa’s first Premier League goal since May!#SUNAVL pic.twitter.com/xCFrPTdmCB— Match of the Day (@BBCMOTD) September 21, 2025Despite that, Sunderland refused to give up and the Black Cats levelled just eight minutes after Villa broke the deadlock. Isidor reacted quickest to a ball headed back into the box, steering home his third goal of the campaign.The 25-year-old is the first Sunderland player to score in each of the first three home games of a Premier League season since 2010/11.Villa dominated the possession (71%) but again lacked ideas in the final third. Morgan Rogers endured a quiet afternoon, while the introductions of Harvey Elliott, Donyell Malen and Jadon Sancho did little to improve their fortunes.
