Surprised the ref didn't get a mention in the match thread...

There haven't been a lot of big decisions to make, and the biggest one was the red, which was correct, yet somehow this is still the worst refereeing and assistant refereeing performance I've ever seen, even in the Championship. 

Getting in the way of players, stopping the first half early, seeming to not understand the advantage rule, fouls being an absolute cointoss, constantly incorrect offside calls, handballs given from a foot away, not even getting goalkicks/corners and the direction of throw ins correct. It was an absolute disasterclass from start to finish, his assistants didn't help him, but he needs demoting.

Brilliant victory and well deserved.

Great to keep a clean sheet away from home as well.

Gutted for the ref, tried hard but not the result he wanted.

We were crap though. Thank God for that red card.

Strange game. Strange refereeing. But 3 points is all that matters!

[EvilChameleon]

Got the goal a man up, held up against their onslaught for 11+ minutes, got the three points. A job well done today.

[smg]

Thank god all the pre match positivity on here paid off.

[villa4europe]

Great result

That's why the PL is the most exciting league, there were some poor moments in the game, the cost of the players doesn't relate to their quality but sometimes the sloppiness from both teams goes together to make a good enjoyable game and that was one of them

Ref was **** garbage though
