Leeds United footballer Luke Ayling prevented Aston Villa from taking the lead halfway through the first half. The Leeds man stopped Jack Grealish' shot right on the goal line.

Aston Villa faced Leeds United on Friday on matchday six of the Premier League.

A newly promoted team managed by Marcelo Bielsa and with new signings like Rodrigo Moreno against Aston Villa, the only team with a 100% record. They only stayed up last season by a point.

The first half ended 0-0 despite there being plenty of chances. Aston Villa were actually very unlucky not to take the lead.

Jack Grealish, one of Aston Villa's main men in attack, shot from inside the box, the ball went past the Leeds Unied keeper, but Luke Ayling made a brilliant goal line clearance! The captain got back to knock the ball off the line just millimetres before crossing it.
