!! bournemouth was so close but they just couldn't score lol 
they really had Aston Villa's backline beat tho! the goalkeeper for villa was insane 
i mean who needs to sleep when u can have a penalty shootout winner like that? 
the energy in the stadium must've been electric!!! 
! Bournemouth were creating so much space and chances, but their strikers just couldn't finish them off. You can't blame the Villa backline for being solid, but come on, guys! Get some goals in! 
️. And then when the penalty shootout came around, it was anyone's game, but that goalkeeper for Aston Villa was a brick wall 
. I don’t know how he made those saves, must have been some sort of football wizardry 
. Bournemouth will definitely be disappointed with that one, but on the other hand, Aston Villa just showed they're a solid team 
. Bournemouth's forward line just couldn't break through Aston Villa's defense 
. And those saves by the Villa keeper? Unbelievable 
! I'm so hyped for Villa's win, they totally deserved it 
. For Bournemouth, though... like, what could've been right? 
Still, there's always next time, and they'll come back stronger 
! The fact that it went down to a penalty shootout is just insane. I mean, who doesn't love the thrill of watching players step up to take a shot under pressure? 
️ i still think Bournemouth got robbed 
and that Villa goalie is prob part of some secret society or watever 
anyone else see any funny refs moments? 
bournemouth was so close but just couldn't catch a break 
i mean aston villa's defense was literally impenetrable 
. I mean, I know Bournemouth is still in the hunt for promotion and all that, but this loss is going to be a big wake-up call for them 
i was on the edge of my seat watchin how bournemouth's offense couldnt score against villa's defense lol like they had so many chances but just cudnt capitalize 
his saves were on point!! 
bournemouth shoulda won that game 4-0 lol they got so many free kicks and just cudnt convert 
i mean i know they created chances but it's always weird when teams just can't seem to score 
I mean, can you imagine if Bournemouth's strikers showed up to the game in pajamas? 
. i mean, i know they played well, but come on, it's still just football at the end of the day... we need some more excitement that doesn't rely on a guy in goal making saves from halfway the pitch 
I'm still reeling from the excitement! 
And that goalkeeper from Aston Villa? FORGET ABOUT IT! 
It's going to be hard for Bournemouth to bounce back from this one, but I've got faith in them. They just need to regroup and come back stronger. 
. But a penalty shootout? That's just ridiculous. It's like they're more worried about winning than actually playing the game
