Aston Villa’s Keinan Davis continues to impress this season.
Aston Villa’s Keinan Davis continued his fine form with another goal, this time in the 4-0 away win over Burton Albion on Tuesday night.
Villa travelled to the Pirelli Stadium in search of another win having beaten Nottingham Forest 2-1 on Saturday afternoon, and they enjoyed a huge away win.
Davis got the scoring started with a fine header, before Albert Adomah, Robert Snodgrass and Josh Onomah all found the net to hand Steve Bruce a 4-0 victory.

The big talking point was the performance of striker Davis, who scored his second goal of the season as he has stepped up to lead the Villa attack this season.
Davis, 19, has impressed so much for Villa that Premier League clubs are now taking notice, with The Mirror reporting that Arsenal, Everton and Manchester United all scouted him on Tuesday night.
Davis’ success should serve as something of a wake-up call to Villa, in that they should be continuing to look for lower league gems rather than solely focusing on bigger names with big wages to get them out of the Championship.
Bruce brought in the likes of John Terry, Ahmed Elmohamady, Glenn Whelan and Snodgrass to boost his promotion hopes, whilst they also spent big on Jonathan Kodjia, Neil Taylor, Scott Hogan and James Chester since relegation from the Premier League.
Conversely, Davis was a signing from non-league Biggleswade Town having failed to make the grade with Stevenage, and whilst young defender Jacob Bedeau was signed from Bury in January, more is needed.
Preston North End are currently showing how youngsters signed in bargain deals can win results in the Championship, and Davis’ exploits should force Villa into looking to the lower leagues, and even non-league for possible signings rather than relying on the old guard under Bruce.
