Match report: Aston Villa 2-0 Wolves

Premier League: Aston Villa, whose unlikely surge into contention for Champions League qualification was built on their imperious record in front of their own supporters, regained that homely feeling and with it fourth place in the Premier League after Unai Emery recorded his first win over Wolves in seven attempts. Words: Peter Lansley at Villa Park.

Ezri Konsa: In an interview with Sky Sports, the Aston Villa and England defender is asked if he meant to score with his “shot” on goal. You probably don’t need me to tell you his reply, but I will anyway.

“Yeah, I did … yeah, definitely,” he says, with a laugh. “It’s just one of those things, whether it was a cross or I meant it, it went in so it’s my goal and I’m really pleased.”
