If ever there was going to be a game where the three points didn’t quite show what it meant to the team, this one was it.
Not only have Villa managed to secure three points and deprive their rivals of them, they also saw Sunderland and Hull City share the spoils and hand them a further boost.
Benteke added another goal to his collection and the home fans finally had something to shout about – the game wasn’t even that dire to watch and will provide a massive boost in confidence for the players ahead of the next ten league games – which are MUST WIN.
