Aston Villa v Sunderland Post-Match Thread

[Toronto Villa]

How many times did Man U during the numerous Ferguson title winning years did they find a way to win. However it came about, they played to the very end of games and scored late, late goals*. Thats what excellent sides do.


*Usually at our expense.

On the balance of play, Sunderland were maybe a bit unfortunate to be behind at half-time. We dominated second half though, and it would have been a travesty if we hadn't won.

Sancho can’t be trusted.

There are a few on the bench who now fall into that category unfortunately.  The drop.off in performance level when we began making substitutions was pretty alarming.

I get the gnashing of teeth at the substitutions buts its a squad game these days.  And those subs also combined to get us the winner. Just a shame Tammy couldnt have celebrated it more.

Great to see Ollie officially now on one of his streaks too, great timimg that. UTFV.

Sunderland did not deserve a draw based on their general second half performance so the result was correct.
