Aston Villa beat Queens Park Rangers 1-0, with Leandro Bacuna playing as a central midfielder last night.

Steve Bruce has suggested to Aston Villa’s official website that he still isn’t sure on Leandro Bacuna’s best position.

Bacuna started for Villa in central midfield against Queens Park Rangers last night, and he put in a highly impressive display.

Although the Curaçao international is more familiar with playing at right-back, his versatility makes him a valuable option.

And Bruce admits that he still hasn’t been able to figure out exactly where Bacuna’s best role is.

“You tell me [what Bacuna’s best position is]?,” Bruce said.

“I think he has played in midfield, out wide, full-back…he’s rolled up his sleeves and had a go, which is good to see.”

Bacuna helped Villa pick up a 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers last night.

The 25-year-old put in one of his best performances of the season to help his side get the three points.

Villa have now won seven of their last eight matches, and have moved into the top half of the Championship table.

Bruce’s side are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Burton Albion at the Pirelli Stadium.
