Jonathan Kodija and Tammy Abraham were the key men as Aston Villa secured a 2-2 draw with Stoke City in Saturday’s English Championship encounter.
The game looked to have been won by the visitors after Benik Afobe’s converted a penalty 12 minutes from time but the Cote d’Ivoire international, on as a second-half substitute snatched a point for his side at home.
An entertaining opening 45 minutes ended a stalemate before Stoke took the lead two minutes after the restart through midfielder Joe Allen.
Kodija was brought on for winger Anwar El-Ghazi few minutes after the hour mark and was crucial to Villa’s response, winning the penalty that was converted by Abraham for the youngster’s 12th goal of the season.
