Brighton continued to dominate the match, and Jack Hinshelwood's own goal put the home team 2-0 up just before the half-hour mark. However, Villa's momentum began to shift as they pulled a goal back eight minutes before halftime.

Ollie Watkins scored a brave goal in a crowded six-yard box, converting Ian Maatsen's low cross. Ezri Konsa then had a chance to equalize, but his header hit the post in stoppage time.

As the match entered the second half, Watkins scored his second goal of the game, firing low past the Brighton goalkeeper to put Villa in the driving seat.

Aston Villa completed the comeback on the hour mark, as Amadou Onana headed home a deep corner from Matty Cash. The goal sparked celebrations in the away end, and Villa secured a thrilling 4-3 victory.
