It was a performance that leaves an inner glow. If was or was not the best per performance ever, I compare it with the Liverpool spanking, when Grealish, Barkley, Watkins and co ran wild and the team were playing in the park with seemingly no consequences.
This game though was Villa playing the business. I was sure they’d run out of steam, but the plan never faltered and withstood a vague rally by City after the break. This is football that could weather the season, and my soul permanently aglow.
