What they Said
โWe showed a little bit of resilience and my goalkeeper has played very very well today.
โI thought we were a little bit leggy but weโve stuck at it again and weโve kept a clean sheet.
โWeโre improving. Weโve still got a lot to do. We werenโt great again but weโve done enough to win a game of football in this division.โ
Steve Bruce, Saturday, 1 April 2017.
*Two goals from Jonathan Kodjia saw Aston Villa beat 10-man Norwich City at Villa Park.*
Kodjia put the hosts ahead midway through the first half when Scott Hogan played him in and the Ivory Coast striker found the roof of the net.
The game was all but settled when Ivo Pinto was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Jordan Amavi.
Kodjia made sure of a home win in the 87th minute when he capitalised on a mistake in the Norwich defence.
A third successive victory for Villa lifted them to 11th, just three points behind Norwich, who slipped to ninth and seven points outside the play-off places.
Nelson Oliveira had the visitorsโ best chance, just before Kodjiaโs second, when he was played in on goal by Cameron Jerome, but the Portuguese could not get a shot away after a poor first touch.
Jerome also went close to scoring in the opening 10 minutes, but his effort went inches wide as Norwichโs poor return on the road continued.
The Canaries have won just one of their past 14 away league games and remain without a manager following the sacking of Alex Neil last month.
Villa were denied a second before Kodjiaโs late goal when Nathan Baker saw his header cleared off the line by Ryan Bennett and Conor Hourihaneโs follow-up skimmed the crossbar.
