Review
What a great way to our first win of the season at Villa Park. And this was our first win there in 11 games and 32 years! Maybe we're getting used to Glasner's system, and it was good to see Liam Delap get his first goal for us. Igor Jesus netted the winner with two minutes to go, and that gave us our first three point haul of the season.
