Two first-half goals from Matty Cash and one from Moussa Diaby gave Aston Villa a 3-1 win against a Burnley side still searching for their first point
on the opening weekend at Newcastle, they have now scored seven in their past two, conceding one. Here their quality carved Burnley open all too often and the margin of victory could have been greater.
Cash had scored only four times in his previous 99 Villa appearances and his two goals in this game were the culmination of two fantastic passages of play. Villa’s midfield trio of Douglas Luiz, Boubacar Kamara and John McGinn were irrepressible on occasions. The thought of adding Nicolò Zaniolo, who impressed when he came on, to that mix is a mouthwatering one.and it took only eight for Villa to break the deadlock.
For Burnley, this was a more effective yardstick in terms of the step up in quality required this season. The defeat by Manchester City offered little in the way of what to expect given the calibre of the opposition and the positive for Kompany was the fact they posed a good Villa side problems on occasions.
