Matty Cash scored twice on his 100th Aston Villa appearance as Unai Emery’s side made it back-to-back wins with victory over a Burnley side who have now lost both their games since returning to the Premier League.
The full-back had scored only four times in his previous 99 Villa appearances but his two goals here paved the way for the visitors to record a comfortable and deserved victory. Burnley acquitted themselves well on occasions, epitomised by Lyle Foster’s strike 29 seconds into the second half that halved the deficit, but it is now two defeats from two for Vincent Kompany’s side and they could have few complaints about the result.
