I still can’t believe Martinez (redscum version) wasn’t even booked once. If he had been wearing claret and blue I’m certain he’d have been sent off. 

If that and the Ronaldo scuffle review had been from our players both would've been reds

Brilliant performance, everything worked.

The last 6 mins of injury time, I haven't seen such a composed performance in a long time. I wasn't nervous in the slightest. For that alone,  Unai is an absolute genius.

Fantastic. Unbelievable performance.

I think we might be something special with this manager.

The sleeping giant has started to stir.

I’ve been watching MUTV (Man Utd TV) for the post match review. The saltiness is fantastic

It'll be how poor they were,but we played ok too.

[HKP90]

Well it's taken Unai 1 week and 1 game to get one of the biggest victories in our recent history. I'm quite excited to see what's next.

Come on Villa!!!!!!!

Oh this is great, I might see if there’s anything on YouTube!

Even more marked improvement than when we ditched Bruce for Smith.

How many training sessions did he get in with the team? 4? Only 3 with his full complement of backroom staff? It's amazing he was able to get them to play in such a fluid system, different shapes with and without the ball depending on where we/they had possession. No-one looked like they were confused by it at all. 

The WC break will be a great chance to get what he wants over to the squad. He'll be backed in January too, very exciting times.

I gave Donk MOTM, quiet, calm and faultless performance. 

I could have given it to 5 or 6 others TBF

He's an eexpert pick pocket. Lol

Wow..... Just back after watching us look superb. Great atmosphere and watching us counter Utd like that and clinically dispatch them was a joy to behold. Magnificent. 

[Ghost]

Konsa carrying the ball up the field and almost playing as a striker. Absolute banter football! 

You love to see it!

[turvontour]

Fantastic to put that awful record to bed!

Out of interest does anyone know if we lost the toss and were made to shoot at the Holte in the first half? Or whether we chose to do that?

Not a red card

 

Can understand the ref not seeing it, but the VAR needs demoting

Should also see a retrospective ban for violent conduct

Yes we lost the toss and Man Utd chose the ends.

I didn't see any of it, but I assume they tried their usual diving and cheating, and we were just good enough they couldn't even rob us this time?
