Aston Villa fans have been heaping praise upon Robert Snodgrass on Twitter after watching Steve Bruce’s side move themselves up to fourth in the Championship with a win over Sunderland.
Sunderland may have been bottom of the second tier going into the contest, but the Villans would have been forgiven for being wary of the Black Cats as they undoubtedly would have gained a boost from the recent managerial appointment of Chris Coleman at the Stadium of Light.
