Aston Villa boosted their Premier League survival chances following Tuesday’s 1-0 victory over Arsenal at Villa Park.
Mahmoud ‘Trezeguet’ Hassan was the hero as his 27th-minute strike handed Dean Smith’s men all three points.
The Egypt international slammed the ball past goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez after Tyrone Mings had flicked on Conor Hourihane’s corner kick – as Mikel Arteta’s Gunners would lick their wounds over Eddie Nketiah’s missed opportunity.
However, Ahmed Elmohamady’s injury was the sore point for the hosts as the 32-year-old was replaced by Frederic Guilbert in the 25th minute after sustaining an injury without any contact.
