What they Said
*Villa boss Steve Bruce:*
โThe conditions were tough and we had a makeshift back four, so it was always going to be difficult.
โJed (Steer) pulled off two or three very good saves and Iโm delighted for him, because heโs worked really hard to get back.
โHe ruptured his Achilles in my first week at the club but heโs a very decent goalkeeper and he got his rewards.
โYou wouldnโt send a lifeboat out in those conditions and Iโve never known anything like it for an August evening. It was unbelievable.
โWe made too many mistakes but thankfully got away with it.โ
Championship club Aston Villa reached the EFL Cup second round with a narrow away win at League Two Colchester.
Scott Hogan slotted in Villaโs opener after Uโs keeper Sam Walker fumbled.
The hosts had an early chance to level after Christopher Samba took out Sammie Szmodics in the box, but Mikael Mandronโs drilled penalty was saved.
Frankie Kent then inadvertently turned in Albert Aldomahโs cross, before the United defender made it 2-1 at the other end shortly before half-time.
Colchester pushed for a leveller after the break but missed several chances as Villa - who made nine changes to their starting side after their league draw with Hull - held on to progress.
