Aston Villa settle grudge match with Virgin Trains after being trolled on Twitter as Stiliyan Petrov plays in win

With Nico Rosberg overcoming Lewis Hamilton and Chelsea prolonging Tottenham's 26-year wait for a win at Stamford Bridge, this wasn't the biggest grudge match of the weekend.

But Aston Villa were still very happy to settle a score with Virgin Media trains after an all-star XI beat the company's social media team 6-2 in a friendly on Sunday.

The Championship club were the butt of a joke on Twitter at the start of last month following the departure of manager Roberto Di Matteo after just 124 days in charge, with the train provider making reference to the rapid turnover of managers at Villa Park.
