Bolton Wanderers’ Joel Dixon fouls Aston Villa’s Danny Ings to concede a penalty during the Carabao Cup second round match at the University of Bolton ...

Villa had threatened to split the home defence on a few occasions and the next occasion brought a penalty. Digne exchanged passes with Coutinho before sending a right-footed effort sailing wide of the far post when a pass to a team-mate might have been a better option. Mings hurled himself in the way of the shot and when McGinn brought down the Bolton man 25 yards out, Declan John curled the free-kick just a foot or so wide. Kamara and Luiz between them could not deprive Kachunga of possession, Kieran Lee turned Chambers with too much ease and squared for Charles to finish low into the net. The Bolton keeper then came racing off his line to thwart Watkins, who had latched on to McGinn’s fine reverse pass and attempted to go round Dixon. The biggest positive for Villa was that, after falling behind, they overcame a test of character.

Villa came from behind to spare manager Steven Gerrard an uncomfortable night with a convincing 4-1 Carabao Cup win at Bolton.

Elias Kachunga was a constant threat and fired wide early on. Kachunga was denied by a Tyrone Mings block after the break but Villa then took a firm grip after Coutinho played in Ings and he was brought down by Dixon. After a frustrating start to the season and just three wins from 14 games stretching back to March, questions were being asked of Villa’s direction under Gerrard heading into the game.

Bolton 1-4 Aston Villa: The hosts took the lead to put further pressure on Steven Gerrard, but Douglas Luiz scored from a corner and Danny Ings converted a ...

Declan John had almost restored Bolton’s lead with a free kick, the Liverpool loanee Conor Bradley was bright and a second gate of over 20,000 in a week was positive sign. Gerrard had named a strong bench and Bailey emerged from it to cut in from the right and angle in the fourth goal. Kieran Lee embarked on a mesmeric solo run, twisting his way past Chambers, and had the presence of mind to pick out Dion Charles, who was left with a tap-in. But Wanderers were enterprising and impressive, Ian Evatt’s commitment to attacking football making for an open game. Yet there was a case that the strike of the night came from Bolton. Attacking full-backs form an integral part of Gerrard’s gameplan and if that has led to defensive problems at times in the Premier League it brought a League Cup goal. Kamara started and the fact Gerrard only made five changes was a sign victory was an imperative. Coutinho has spent more time at Barcelona and Bayern Munich than Bolton in recent years, but he provided a defence-splitting ball. It is half a lifetime ago that Gerrard first won the League Cup as part of Gerard Houllier’s double, a decade since he last won it as Kenny Dalglish’s captain. [Danny Ings](/topic/danny-ings), [Lucas Digne](/topic/lucas-digne) and [Leon Bailey](/topic/leon-bailey) swept Villa into the third round and Gerrard could be spared uncomfortable reminders that his sacked predecessor, Dean Smith, took Villa to the final of the [Carabao Cup](/topic/carabao-cup). The strangest of them, courtesy of [Douglas Luiz](/topic/douglas-luiz), meant [Bolton Wanderers](/topic/bolton-wanderers)’ lead was brief and the prospect of Gerrard’s worst result of his time at Villa faded, to be replaced by an emphatic victory.

Wanderers' hopes of a Carabao Cup shock were extinguished but not before giving Aston Villa a fright.

That was harsh on Wanderers who had given their all and were grateful to two late saves from Dixon to prevent Villa from adding to a flattering scoreline. It was a luckless way to go behind and the Whites were suddenly left with all to do as Digne quickly added another as he burst into the box to steer a shot inside the near post as Dixon lost his bearings. Villa were able to add more quality from the bench and one of their substitutes, Leon Bailey, delivered a high-class finish to make it 4-1. The striker’s first goal of the season had the place rocking and it was arguably against the run of play that Villa equalised with an unlikely strike eight minutes before half-time as a corner from Douglas Luiz swung straight into the far top corner. Villa countered with Lucas Digne getting forward to fire wide before Ings hit the foot of a post following another rapid counter-attack as the pace refused to relent. And the five-time winners ultimately had enough to get the job done as they built on Douglas Luiz’s freakish equaliser direct from a corner to book their passage through with three goals inside the final half hour.
