Aston Villa took on Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and beat them 3-1.
Aston Villa playmaker Jack Grealish has praised the performance of Sheffield Wednesday’s Sam Hutchinson in the clash between the two sides last weekend.
Villa ran out 3-1 winners against Wednesday two games ago, but the match was a very even contest.
Dean Smith’s side grabbed two goals in injury time to claim the three points, but Grealish has reflected on the battle that Wednesday gave him.
“At Sheffield Wednesday, Sam Hutchinson followed me everywhere, he didn’t give me a yard,” Grealish said.
“Fair play to the manager he shouted onto the pitch and changed it so I was the 10 instead of three in midfield.
“In the last five or 10 minutes that helped with the goal.”
Villa have kicked on even further since their victory over Wednesday, and extended their run of wins to seven now.
The Villans beat Rotherham United 2-1 in midweek, with Grealish scoring the winner.
Wednesday were also victorious in their last outing, as they strolled past Nottingham Forest.
Villa and Wednesday could yet meet again in the play offs, if they continue their excellent form, and Grealish will know the difficulty of playing against Hutchinson now.
