MATCH SUMMARY
Villa concede on 87’ as their conservative approach to games away from home costs them once again. Despite their approach however Villa still had the majority of chances and could have taken the points had they played with greater ambition.

“Five goals from Aston Villa is not so much a rarity as a miracle these days and when they come with such ease and conviction the real surprise is that it does not happen more often.”
