Ross Barkley’s first-half goal was enough to earn a vital win for Aston Villa away from home last night.
Dean Smith’s side beat Southampton 1-0 in the Premier League after a controversial VAR decision. Southampton striker Danny Ings had a goal disallowed for offside in stoppage time.
Barkley scored the only goal of the game on the 41 st minute. The on-loan Chelsea midfielder headed in from Jack Grealish’s cross for his third League goal of the season.
There were quite a few impressive performances from the Aston Villa players but Emiliano Martinez stood out as a game-changer once again.
