And the game-winner and best player wasn&#8217;t his new star man Philippe Coutinho nor former Everton player Lucas Digne but the summer&#8217;s big signing that Gerrard has finally gotten firing.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n<hr \/>\n<p>Emi Buendia joined Villa in the summer for \u00a330m and looked well placed to replace Jack Grealish when the Englishman departed to Manchester City for \u00a3100m. But Buendia never really got going under Dean Smith, and it&#8217;s taken Steven Gerrard and amusingly enough the arrival of Coutinho to bring the best out of Buendia.<\/p>\n<p>By shaping his team to accommodate the Brazilian, Gerrard has necessarily had to facilitate a kind of football and shape that plays into Buendia&#8217;s strengths as an associative attacking player. We saw it in both games against Manchester United, where the Argentine&#8217;s movement was sharp, he carried the ball well and he kept Villa on the offensive.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/888-sports?q=uk-all-all-bst-s-sq-PL2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1243271 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"828\" height=\"1155\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham.jpg 828w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-215x300.jpg 215w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-734x1024.jpg 734w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-768x1071.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-110x153.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-50x70.jpg 50w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-47x65.jpg 47w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-80x112.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-180x251.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-172x240.jpg 172w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-430x600.jpg 430w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-240x335.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-716x999.jpg 716w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-85x119.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-14x20.jpg 14w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2022\/01\/21082232\/1243270_1243270_888Sport-Premier-League-Offer-Get-81-on-Chelsea-or-331-on-Tottenham-330x460.jpg 330w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 828px) 100vw, 828px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.squawka.com\/en\/go\/888-sports?q=uk-all-all-bst-s-sq-PL2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Claim HERE<\/a>. 18+ only.

Buendia was impossible to contain, even with Everton getting the new manager bounce from Duncan Ferguson. The Argentina completed 3\/4 dribbles, took 4 shots with 2 on target (both game-highs) and made 3 tackles as well as he truly pushed the tempo for Villa.<\/p>\n<p>And, of course, he scored the goal. With the first-half winding down Lucas Digne whipped a corner in to the near-post and despite standing 5&#8217;6, Buendia rose highest at the near-post and got a wonderfully deft connection on the ball, flicking it up and goalward, so high that Jordan Pickford with arms outstretched could only get a fingertip to it, which was not enough to deflect it over (only over the head of Andros Townsend on the goal-line, who may have cleared it).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Emi Buend\u00eda&#39;s game by numbers vs. Everton:<\/p>\n<p>46 touches<br \/>8 duels won<br \/>5 touches in opp. box<br \/>4 shots<br \/>3 tackles made<br \/>3 take-ons completed<br \/>2 opposition shots blocked<br \/>2 shots on target<br \/>1 aerial duel won<br \/>1 interception<br \/>1 clearance<br \/>1 foul won<br \/>1 goal<\/p>\n<p>A whirlwind display. ? <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/dD6utCu9Br\">pic.twitter.com\/dD6utCu9Br<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1484895878926282757?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 22, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>While Coutinho has taken the glory, to watch Buendia is to see the key playmaker for Villa.
