Aston Villa fans have been expressing their delight on Twitter with the footage of the winning goal against Norwich.
This comes after the official Aston Villa Twitter account shared a post on their page that contained a clip of Conor Hourihane’s winning strike in the 1-0 win against Norwich.
The clip showed Jack Grealish’s dazzling run into the Norwich box before laying the ball over to Hourihane who then smashed the ball into the net to put Villa ahead.

Jack and Conor link ups are something else. Only good things happen when they’re together

Beautiful link up play

The post was captioned with the word “sublime” to describe the move from the Villa duo. This goal led to Villa picking up their first three points in the Premier League since their 2-0 win over Newcastle in November (per BBC Sport). This latest piece of the link-up play from Grealish and Hourihane got a lot of Villa fans talking on Twitter.
These guys have been playing together for ages. That’s the difference.

It’s getting silly how good Grealish is playing at the moment

What do we think?
With the sublime move aside, the three points Villa picked up were very important for Dean Smith and his side who have struggled in recent weeks. If they can use this win against Norwich to bounce back from their poor form, they could get themselves out of the relegation zone, with consistency being key at this point in time.
