Aston Villa registered back to back wins in the Championship after they earned an emphatic 3-2 victory in a pulsating thriller against Wigan Athletic at Villa Park on Saturday.
It needed an extra time winner from Birkir Bjarnason as Steve Bruce’s side came from behind to seal a dramatic win.
New signing John McGinn, who joined from Hibernian in the summer transfer window, made an instant impact earning high praise from his new manager.
The 23-year-old was superb on his debut and produced an assured performance by picking up an assist as well. Aston Villa captain James Chester gave Villa the lead on 13 minutes with a header from a free-kick from McGinn.
