Aston Villa supporters are hoping to see Steve Bruce use Rushian Hepburn-Murphy given an opportunity.

Aston Villa fans have called for Rushian Hepburn-Murphy to be used as their secret weapon in the play offs.

Hepburn-Murphy scored a wonderful solo goal last night, as Villa got past Reading.

The claret and blues forward scored the winner in the last minute, to provide Villa with a 4-3 victory over Reading.

Villa fans have now called on Steve Bruce to give Hepburn-Murphy a chance over Scott Hogan in the play offs.

Hogan has struggled at Villa in recent weeks, and he has found the back of the net just once in his last 13 appearances.

Hepburn-Murphy, meanwhile, has been scoring frequently for Villa’s development side, as he has done all season.

The forward has caught the eye at under-23 level, but Bruce has only used him sparingly so far.

Hepburn-Murphy has just five senior appearances for Villa under his belt this season, meaning he could be fresh for the play-offs, if Bruce does show faith in the young prospect.
