ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 19 August 2017
Villa win at the fourth attempt in the Championship in 2017-18 thanks to a hat-trick from the irrepressible Conor Hourihane.
Hourihane hat-trick now has 4 goals in two games as Villa rise to 16th in the table with 5 games played.
Bizarrely Steve Bruce doesn’t take credit for his attacking team selection and blames it on having his “hand … forced”. With two assists coming from Henri Lansbury who only took the field as an early substitute for the injured Josh Onomah and a third from a player he didn’t intend to play, confidence in the manager is not high and add to the concern that there is little in the way of a tactical plan at Villa Park.
Keinan Davis contributes his first assist on his first start for the club (9 Appearances) to make it W4 D2 L3, 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
Henri Lansbury contributes his first assists for the club on his 21st appearance (19 Starts) to make it W8 D4 L9, 2 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Conor Hourihane’s hat-trick is Villa's first since Scott Sinclair in the League Cup on Tuesday, 25 August 2015 and is his 5th goal for the club in 21 appearances (16 Starts) to make it W8 D2 L11, 5 Goals, 3 Assists and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
André Green scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 23rd appearance (8 Starts) to make it W7 D4 L12, 1 Goals and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
John Terry secures his first win in a Villa shirt on his 4th appearance to make it W1 D1 L2 so far in his Villa career.
