Aston Villa boss Steve Bruce being pelted with cabbage 'sums up society'

Aston Villa's underwhelming start to the season continued with a 3-3 draw against Preston on Tuesday night.

Indeed, Villa were minutes away from an embarrassing home defeat until Yannick Bolasie spared their blushes with a 91st-minute equaliser -- and that was before Glenn Whelan spurned the chance to seize all three points by missing a 97th-minute penalty, with boos ringing around the stadium at full time.

However, the Villa protests actually began before the match, with one particularly irate fan choosing to demonstrate his anger by pelting manager Steve Bruce with a cabbage.
