Aston Villa 1-1 Preston North End: Match Review
Preston North End came round to pay us as visit and left with a well-earned point, even if their goal was another that Sam Johnstone will regret. Lewis Grabban coolly slotted home from the spot to earn Villa’s share of the spoils, and the losing streak was stopped at one. I’ll take the result, but I’m not quite sure how much Villa deserved the point.
Fulham 2-0 Aston Villa: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly

Down Go small health—Seven and Counting: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
It’s a bit dizzying being up so high in the table. For a day or two, at least. But there we were in second when Aston Villa came up aces in the Second City Derby with second-half goals from Albert Adomah and Conor Hourihane powering the home side to a 2-0 win over small heath.
Aston Villa 3-2 Burton Albion: The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Winning six in a row isn’t easy. Certainly not for Villa, anyway. Despite making it hard work of it in the end, Villa did just that, beating the visiting Brewers 3-2. And it’s lovely to see Adomah, Grealish and Hogan all on the scoresheet.
