ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 1 April 2017
  • Villa's excellent run continues as they make it 6 wins in their last 7 Championship games as their terrible early 2017 form under Steve Bruce is a distant memory.

  • Villa climb to eleventh in the table but Bruce's constant selection changes cause concern that this is a management regime living on the seat of their pants game to game. 

  • Whether that was a realistic route to enough consistency to deliver a play off place - or better - remained an open question.

  • Conor Hourihane secures his 5th win in a Villa shirt on his 10th start (11 Appearances) to make it W5 D0 L6, 1 Goal, 2 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Sam Johnstone keeps his 1st clean sheet and secures his first win as well as contributing his first assist in a Villa shirt on his 9th appearance to make it W1 D1 L7, 1 Assist, 16 Goals Conceded and 1 Clean Sheet so far in his Villa career.

MATCH QUOTES
”We showed a little bit of resilience and my goalkeeper has played very very well today. “I thought we were a little bit leggy but we’ve stuck at it again and we’ve kept a clean sheet. “We’re improving. We’ve still got a lot to do. We weren’t great again but we’ve done enough to win a game of football in this division.” Steve Bruce, Saturday, 1 April 2017.

MATCH REPORTS

Opens in New Window

*BBC Sport*
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 visitors’ best chance, just before Kodjia’s 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 Norwich’s 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 Kodjia’s late goal when Nathan Baker saw his header cleared off the line by Ryan Bennett and Conor Hourihane’s follow-up skimmed the crossbar.
