Steve Bruce showers praise on Aston Villa winger Robert Snodgrass

Steve Bruce has waxed lyrical about winger Robert Snodgrass after Aston Villa’s 4-2 win over Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

Snodgrass scored the final goal of the match from the spot kick to put the game beyond doubt.

The 30-year-old joined Villa last summer on a season long loan from West Ham, and has been brilliant throughout the campaign.

Bruce has hailed him as a “dying breed” saying the penalty he won is “worthy of five penalties”. He added that being a dribbler, Snodgrass draws fouls from opposition players.

Snodgrass has played a pivotal role in Aston Villa’s surge for promotion this season.
