From @TheAthleticFC: Aston Villa are unrecognizable to what they were just 12 months ago. Beating champions Manchester City and their title rivals Arsenal back-to-back in the space of four days this week is a period that rubber-stamps their progress. https://t.co/sb0R81mjCB https://t.co/HakaCgxgGL

#AVFC were "struggling" to keep clean sheets before this week. They've now just beaten Man City and Arsenal 1-0 with two different types of performances. An astonishing four days and just a small window into why Villa's turnaround over the past year has been as remarkable.

Beautiful balance to Villa. The intensity out of possession is ferocious but they are just so calm with the ball. Winning big tackles and duels early on. #AVFC
What a start to this game! Villa 🔥🔥
