Just what they deserve. Aston Villa have been excellent and Manchester United are set to be joining Chelsea in making a title race slip-up this lunchtime

A lovely corner from the left is head in at the near post by Kourtney Hause. Villa and Dean Smith are delirious. Edinson Cavani was the man trying to mark him.
