All hail the second half heroes – Aston Villa and Manchester United, we mean you

It was another weekend of highs, lows, surprises and standards in the Premier League.

Some people came out on top (see also: Chelsea) others floundered (or drowned, in the case of Tottenham) but this weekend was all about wins from the Second Half Heroes – the teams that struggled in the first half of the season, but came alive and gained in strength as the season went on.

Whilst some teams started strong only to have subtly slid down the table since January (Southampton, Manchester City and West Ham United, I’m looking at you) other clubs have gotten progressively better as the season went on – and their progress was highlighted by three impressive wins this last weekend.

Here’s three winners from this weekend who have done so well to turn their fortunes around from the start of the season.
