By Andrew Cawthorne BIRMINGHAM, England (Reuters) -Aston Villa missed a chance to close in on the Premier League's top four on Sunday in a 1-1 draw at home to West Ham United whose Brazilian left back Emerson rescued a point after Jacob Ramsey had got the hosts off to a dream start.

After his assist for Jacob Ramsey, Ollie Watkins became the second Aston Villa player to be directly involved in 100+ Premier League goals (61 goals, 39 assists) after with Gabriel Agbonlahor. Watkins reached the century in just 169 appearances - 108 fewer than Agbonlahor (277).

Leapfrogged by the Eagles in the Premier League standings, West Ham failed to register on a single shot on the goal of Dean Henderson throughout the course of the top-flight battle, suggesting that Potter's decision to switch to a back-five formation weakened the hosts' attack.

The Premier League have released a statement following the referee's decision not to show Aston Villa defender Lucas Digne a red card during the Premier League match against West Ham.

Aston Villa boss Unai Emery, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "They were pushing and got into our box and scored one goal. We didn't feel strong or the fresh legs to recover or dominate or try to score. "We have circumstances like the injury of Tyrone Mings and we don't have another proper centre-back."

Emerson's fine header secured West Ham a deserved 1-1 draw with Aston Villa in their Premier League clash at Villa Park.
