Norwich City v Aston Villa Report – Aston Villa Match Report

Aston Villa returned to winning ways in style by thrashing Norwich City 5-1 away at Carrow Road and getting themselves out of the bottom three in the process.

A Wesley Moraes brace followed by goals from Jack Grealish, Conor Hourihane and Douglas Luiz made it 5-0 for the Villans before Josip Drmic pulled one back for the Canaries.

Around the 14th minute mark, Anwar El Ghazi picked out Wesley with a good cross. The striker then had time to chest the ball and slam his effort into the back of the net.

Right at the half-hour mark, a quick Aston Villa break resulted in Matt Targett finding Hourihane on the byline. The latter then cut the ball across for Wesley to score his second.

The Brazilian had a chance to complete his first-half hat-trick through a penalty, however, Micheal McGovern produced a fantastic double save to deny him.

Grealish started and finished off a flowing move to make it 3-0 just after half-time. A few minutes later, Norwich gave the ball away and allowed the time and space for Hourihane to get on his left foot and smash his effort into the back of the net.

Douglas Luiz followed the team’s five-star performance with a fantastic curling effort into the net with no goalkeeper stopping that.

Norwich pulled one back in the 87th minute when Tyrone Mings gave the ball away for Drmic to round off Tom Heaton and score. It was too little too late though!

All in all, it a fantastic win for Aston Villa, their first since beating Everton in August. Here’s how their fans reacted after the game:

Bruno Fernandes Reveals What He Admires About Jess Park’s Game as Man United Captain Praises Fellow Number Eight’s Smashing Season

Published

Bruno Fernandes' admiration for Jess Park's impressive skills as he praises her standout season.

Bruno Fernandes is a big fan of Manchester United Women midfielder Jess Park. The Portugal international shares the number eight shirt with Park and has been impressed by her debut campaign following her summer move from Manchester City.

Park has registered nine goals and five assists since joining from crosstown rivals in an impressive first season. The England international has won United’s Player of the Month award a team high four times, which demonstrates her consistent quality.

Not as Easy as It Looks

Fernandes watched back some of Park’s best moments for United, including her Goal of the Month winner against the London City Lionesses. The midfielder came in off the left flank to beat her marker before driving into space and picking out the far bottom corner.

“It all starts with the first touch. She gets the control there away from the player, she gets a lot of space to then run. Then the speed to run quick like that and then to be very accurate with the shot, it’s a very good thing. It’s not as easy as it looks,” Fernandes explained, which is an absolutely spot on analysis.

Lot of Futsal in That Goal

The United captain also praised Park’s winner against Juventus at the Allianz Stadium. Park helped start the move with a dribble from deep before getting into the box and finishing by picking out the far top corner.

“We spoke about the number eight shirt, and she was in the middle, creating and dictating the tempo. Then she follows up and she ends up in the box with the opportunity to finish. I think the finish is fantastic. There’s a lot of futsal in that goal there,” Fernandes said.

Very Quick With Her Feet

Fernandes watched Park’s solo effort at Aston Villa, which won another Goal of the Month prize. “She’s very quick with her feet and goes onto her left foot, which the defender was probably not expecting,” he acknowledged.

Khadija Shaw Scores Record Breaking Hattrick in ‘This’ Time as Manchester City Thrash Tottenham 5-2

Published

on

Khadija Shaw's incredible hat trick in 21 minutes propels Manchester City to a 5-2 victory over Tottenham, securing a commanding lead in the title race.

Khadija Shaw produced a sensational performance at the Joie Stadium on Saturday afternoon. The Jamaican striker netted a hat trick in just 21 minutes as Manchester City demolished Tottenham 5-2 to extend their lead at the summit to seven points with four matches left.

Shaw’s treble set a new WSL record for the fastest three goals, beating Kelly Smith’s mark from 2014. City responded emphatically to last weekend’s goalless draw at Aston Villa, with Kerolin and an Amanda Nilden own goal completing the rout before halftime.

Fourth Successive Treble Against Spurs

Shaw opened the scoring in the eighth minute, giving City an early advantage. Spurs hit back immediately through Olivia Holdt, which briefly threatened to make things interesting. However, the Cityzens’ response was brutal and decisive.

Shaw restored the lead with a towering header just two minutes later. Her third arrived shortly after breaking Smith’s 12 year record, which is absolutely remarkable. It marked Shaw’s fourth successive hat trick in home league games against Tottenham, which demonstrates her dominance over Martin Ho’s side.

Cruised to Victory After Halftime Blitz

Lauren Hemp provided the assist for Kerolin’s fourth before Vivianne Miedema saw her header deflect in off Nilden. Five goals before the break allowed Andree Jeglertz to rest key players in the second period.

Spurs grabbed a late consolation through Beth England but suffered back to back WSL defeats for the first time this season. City, meanwhile are closing in on its first title since 2016, which is frankly long overdue for a club of their stature.

Shaw now has 18 WSL goals this campaign, double the tally of her nearest challenger. A third consecutive Golden Boot appears certain alongside the championship trophy.

The timing coincides with a crucial period for Natalia Arroyo’s side, who sit ninth in the Women’s Super League table. Villa have lost their last four WSL matches, including the recent defeat to Manchester City, and desperately need points in their remaining fixtures.

Sale Follows Launch of Originals Collection
