Villa Park, Aston Villa FC, Birmingham ...

This afternoon I went to the Aston Villa FC vs Burnley FC EPL football match in Birmingham with Dan & M, we were seated in the Trinity Road stand & arrived in plenty of time before kick-off.

Burnley scored in the 6th minute with a good headed goal by Danny Ings, Villa had most of the possession during the game but could not break down a very well organised Burnley defence. 

Goalkeeping Tom Heaton & striker Ings were the stand out players for Burnley, Villa's Jack Grealish looks an outstanding prospect.

A good afternoon, I am disappointed for my sons Nick & Dan who are Villa fans, a very near miss in terms of relegation, but they do have the FA Cup Final next week against Arsenal to look forward to :-)
