Thought Deano did a job on Benitez today, albeit with them missing their two key attacking players. As much as there were stoodgy bits, I don’t think we allowed Everton to create much or even getting out of their half at points. We also kept Digne pretty quiet and having to defend more than attack which nullifies one of their key threats. You could see Benitez getting more and more frustrated and that was at nil nil. One of the things that really stood out for me were a number of moments of real quality from the team: Cash’s left foot finish, Ings pass and Luiz’s assist, which was of real quality on his weaker foot. We’ve definitely enriched the quality elements this season in the squad with the signings on what we had and now have threats from a number of sources.
Strongest Villa bench since…. ?

Superb second Half performance. Bailey - wow,the king is dead, long live the king Didn't know we had a king. I thought we were an autonomous collective.No, we're an anarcho-syndicalist commune!

The attendance was less than vs Brentford, but Everton sold out their end and we sold ours, no idea how they work it out. Brentford def had empty seats in the upper tier.

We got a deal on Cazoo. Speaking of which (given it was the Cazoo derby) the H&V brethren will be pleased to know that The Daily Mail owns 21% of it.
