Aston Villa hero Mahmoud 'Trezeguet' Hassan said he was expecting his goalscoring heroics against Fulham because of the hard work he puts in during training.
Trezeguet replaced Anwar El Ghazi in the 62nd minute and he scored two quick-fire goals that helped Aston Villa turn Sunday's Premier League game at the Villa Park around.
Aleksandar Mitrovic had given Fulham the lead a minute after the hour-mark before the Egyptian winger scored the equaliser in the 78th minute and he netted again three minutes later.
