Ross Barkley
31-Year-Old
Aston Villa
Premier
First goal of season from bench appearance
Barkley scored one goal to go with one shot (one on goal) and one chance created in Sunday's 4-0 win versus AFC Bournemouth.
ANALYSIS
Barkley came on as a substitute Sunday after 71 minutes and headed home his first strike of the season, converting a near-post flick from a corner in the 77th minute. Other than the goal contribution his activity in the match was modest, he made two recoveries and won three of the five duels he engaged in. The veteran midfielder has made five appearances and no starts this season, it is likely he will continue to be used judiciously from the bench to try and make an impact in matches during their latter stages.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to complete Villa move
Barkley is set to complete a move to Aston Villa, according to Talksport.
ANALYSIS
Everton have been linked with a move for the Luton Town playmaker, who's expected to remain in the Premier League, but it seems Villa will complete the move for him first. The prospect of playing in the Champions League is too tempting for Barkley.
