Now boss Dean Smith gets off to a winning start at Aston Villa after beating Swansea City 1-0 at Villa Park in the Championship clash on Saturday.
On a day when Villa officially marked last week’s death of former chairman Sir Doug Ellis, the club returned to winning ways after four games without a win.
Villa managed only one win in their last 11 games in all competitions prior to this which ultimately led to the sacking of Steve Bruce.
Tammy Abraham, on loan from Chelsea, scored within the opening 10 minutes of the match.
