Norwich vs Aston Villa (H) Four things learned

City lose again, this time 5-1. Fellow promoted outfit Aston Villa hit FIVE past the Canaries who could on manage one goal in reply.

Aston Villa came out the better team and it only took them 14 minutes to get the breakthrough. Villa’s £20million striker Wesley slid the ball into the net after a mix up at the back between Ibrahim Amadou and Ben Godfrey. He then added a second preventable goal through the legs of third choice keeper, Michael McGovern. Before half time, both were involved again, this time, the Norwich man came out on top with an impressive double save from a penalty.

After the break, Villa came out fast scoring just four minutes into the second half. After intricate play from Villa, Jack Grealish hit a good shot into the side netting ending the Canaries hope of a comeback. Then after City had a free kick shout, Conor Hourihane hit another well placed shot past the helpless McGovern. A few minutes later Villa added their fifth. Douglas Luiz got in on the wonder goal act, burying his shot top corner past the dispersing McGovern. Towards the end Josip Drmic got one back with his first goal for the Canaries after a mistake from Tom Heaton.
