Aston Villa secured their 12th Premier League victory of the campaign yesterday at the expense of Leeds United, with Anwar El Ghazi’s 5th-minute opener proving to be enough to hand the visitors all three points at Elland Road.
While Dean Smith’s men left with a valuable victory, many would argue that they were not the best team on the pitch.
Villa had just 30% of the possession, completing (227) less than half of the passes Leeds (517) completed.
The Midlands outfit could not be creative enough with their talismanic captain Jack Grealish missing, and Smith will be hoping to have him back for the rest of the season.
