Aston Villa maintained their Champions League charge with a thumping 4-1 win over West Ham UEFA
Douglas Luiz’s brace, including a second-half penalty, plus goals from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey moved them to fifth in the Premier League, just two points off top spot UEFA
Jarrod Bowen’s deflected effort made it 2-1 but the hosts recovered for Watkins to smash in a crucial third before Bailey wrapped things up late on UEFA
The Hammers, now five points adrift of Villa, slipped to just a third defeat of the season after struggling to match the hosts UEFA
Villa had waited long enough for a victory over the Hammers, their bogey side UEFA
They had recorded just one win in the last 10 years, a 1-0 victory when Villa were already on the slide in 2015, but under Unai Emery they are a different beast, having earned 10 straight home league wins for the first time in 30 years coming into this match UEFA
Emery put his faith in Nicolo Zaniolo, starting while he assists the Italian authorities in their investigation into alleged illegal UEFA betting activity UEFA
A Sunday afternoon slumber hung over Villa Park in the opening stages but it was roused when Alphonse Areola brilliantly turned Luiz’s 25-yard effort wide UEFA
It was a stunning save from the West Ham goalkeeper but he should have been beaten five minutes later UEFA
Moussa Diaby’s pass evaded Kurt Zouma for Watkins to turn Vladimir Coufal UEFA
The hard work done, the striker had just Areola to beat but dragged inches wide from 12 yards UEFA
The momentum was with Villa so there was little surprise when they went ahead after 30 minutes UEFA
Zaniolo and Watkins linked on the left with the England striker collecting a cute return pass to tee up Luiz on the edge of the box and he drilled low past Areola UEFA
In scoring, the midfielder became the first Villa player to net in six straight home matches in the Premier League UEFA

Villa were slicker than the Hammers, who waned in the last third with a final ball missing and Michail Antonio haphazard UEFA
Any hopes of a comeback rested on a strong start to the second half but, instead, the Hammers self-destructed after 51 minutes to gift Villa total control UEFA
There was little danger when the Hammers looked to play their way out in the corner but Lucas Paqueta’s wretched pass put Edson Alvarez in trouble UEFA
Ezri Konsa darted ahead and Alvarez clattered the defender to concede a penalty which Luiz coolly converted UEFA
It looked like a Villa cruise but the visitors pulled a goal back out of the blue five minutes later when Bowen’s shot from 25 yards clipped Pau Torres and rolled in the corner UEFA

Yet Villa ended any hopes of a recovery with 16 minutes left UEFA
The Hammers had the hosts on the ropes briefly but were caught out by John McGinn’s long ball to Watkins UEFA
The striker, fresh from his winner for England against Australia during the international break, still had plenty to do but sold a dummy to Zouma before drilling into the roof of the net from an angle UEFA
Substitute Bailey then wrapped up the points with a minute left, collecting Youri Tielemans’ pass, sidestepping Aguerd and finding the top corner UEFA

Max Verstappen defied Lewis Hamilton to win a cat-and-mouse United States Grand Prix at a sizzling Circuit of the Americas in Austin - before Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified more than three hours later UEFA
Verstappen has been on easy street this season, but the triple world champion was made to fight for the 50th win of his career – becoming only the fifth driver to reach a half-century UEFA
Indeed, at one stage, Hamilton dared to dream of ending a losing streak which stands at 686 days and counting UEFA
Yet, as so often been the case this year, Verstappen’s speed in his all-conquering Red Bull machine came to the fore UEFA
He moved ahead of Lando Norris on lap 28 of 56 to all but seal the win UEFA
Hamilton might bemoan a questionable strategy decision which saw him lose 10 seconds to Verstappen in the opening round of pit stops UEFA
But in reality, he probably did not have the pace to stop the Dutchman from claiming his 15th win from the 18 rounds so far UEFA
The drama did not stop there though UEFA
Hamilton and Leclerc were later found to have breached the rules governing the floor of their cars and, in a shock end to the race weekend, were disqualified from the race UEFA
Logan Sargeant, therefore, earned his first F1 point UEFA
The seven-time world champion enjoyed a decent getaway at the start, but he was blocked by Norris under braking allowing Sainz to sneak through UEFA
Norris had seen off pole-sitter Leclerc with a lunge at the first bend to assume the top spot UEFA
As Norris set about building a lead – already two seconds clear of Leclerc at the end of the second lap – Hamilton set about passing both scarlet cars UEFA
First up was Sainz UEFA
Hamilton used the tow to latch on to the back of Ferrari on the 210mph drag to Turn 12, and, assisted by DRS, drew alongside Sainz before sliding underneath the Spaniard UEFA
On the following lap, Verstappen, who started in sixth after his pole lap in qualifying was chalked off for exceeding track limits, relegated Sainz to another place when he made his move at the same corner UEFA
Lando Norris took the lead at the start of the race (Getty)Hamilton has won six times across the Pond – with five of those victories here in Austin – and the 38-year-old required only two laps to swat Leclerc aside for second UEFA
Deeper on the brakes at Turn 12, Hamilton sailed round the outside of the Monegasque at the left-hander, with Norris now three seconds up the road UEFA
Behind, and Verstappen was not finding it as easy to make progress UEFA
He was stuck behind Leclerc for an additional five laps before finally making his move on the Monegasque UEFA
He trailed Norris by seven seconds, and Hamilton by four UEFA
In the Mercedes garage, Prince Harry cut a pensive figure as he gnawed at his fingernails UEFA
The Duke of Sussex has been something of a lucky charm for Hamilton UEFA
He was a guest of Mercedes when Hamilton secured his second title in the 2014 season decider in Abu Dhabi, leading the congratulations to his fellow Briton on the radio UEFA
Verstappen was the first in for new rubber at the end of lap 16 with Norris stopping the next time round UEFA
But Hamilton stayed out UEFA
Was Mercedes attempting a one-stopper? Hamilton did not seem convinced UEFA
Asked if he could complete another five laps on his current set of tyres, Hamilton replied: “I am not sure, man UEFA
It is pretty tough UEFA
”Hamilton then locked up before his race engineer Peter Bonnington was back on the intercom to inform Hamilton that Verstappen – who on new tyres had just lapped three seconds faster than the Briton – was now likely to gazump him when he eventually stopped UEFA

Logan Sargeant*Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc were disqualified“No s***, man,” yelled Hamilton UEFA
“I am struggling out here UEFA
”On lap 20, in came Hamilton, and a slow front-right tyre change added to his woes by costing him a needless second UEFA
When Hamilton emerged from the pits, he had dropped to third, five seconds adrift of Verstappen UEFA
“I came out so far behind,” he said with a hint of dejection UEFA
When the opening stops were completed, Norris led Verstappen by 2 UEFA
4 sec with Hamilton 7 UEFA
5 off the lead UEFA
By virtue of taking on another set of mediums, Verstappen had to stop again, but Norris and Hamilton – now both on the hards – could, if their rubber allowed, go all the way to the end UEFA
Hamilton, failing to make any inroads and sensing his best chance of ending a 22-month winning streak had faded, expressed his frustrations UEFA
“You have given me a hell of a gap to close,” he said UEFA
Verstappen celebrates his 15th win of the season on the podium alongside Lewis Hamilton and Norris (Getty)On lap 28, Verstappen dived underneath Norris for the lead at Turn 12 UEFA
Norris had a nibble back at the Red Bull heading into the ensuing right hander, but he failed to make it stick UEFA
The question now was whether Norris, and indeed Hamilton – now less than five seconds off the lead – could make their tyres last UEFA
The answer arrived on lap 34 when Norris dived in for a fresh set of boots UEFA
Verstappen followed in on lap 35, and despite, a slow left-rear tyre change, retained his position ahead of Norris UEFA
Three laps later and Hamilton was in, changing to the faster medium compound UEFA
Hamilton had the bit UEFA between his teeth and within 10 laps he was crawling all over the back of Norris’ McLaren UEFA
Norris slung his McLaren to the inside on the entry to the first corner in a move to stop Hamilton, but the older Brit gained UEFA better traction out of the corner to slingshot by in his Mercedes UEFA
Verstappen was five seconds ahead and Hamilton started to reel his old nemesis in only to run out of laps UEFA
Sainz took fourth ahead of Sergio Perez with Leclerc sixth and George Russell seventh for Mercedes UEFA
