A solid performance after the weekends debacle, it was a bit tense until the first went in but we coasted thereafter. Some quality football on display again, the way we pass the ball out of tight defensive spaces with one touch is a pleasure to watch. It was good to see Afobe starting, its what he needs and if he keeps banging the goals in it will suit us aswell :-). Good to see three goals from open play, and the highlights will show the quality of build up play for two of them... another of those Ruben Neves passes to create the opening for Costa to put it on a plate for Afobe. Bonatini was industrious when he came on, hope he benefits from the pressure being taken off him. The only downside the injury to Jota, he stayed down for several minutes and was assisted off clearly in some pain... either a sprain or ligament damage by the look of it can't see him playing on Saturday thats for sure!

With Villa losing its "mind the gap" time again for now...
