The Irishman was impressed with Steve Bruce’s men at the Amex.
Brighton and Aston Villa went head-to-head in the Championship last night with the teams sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw at the Amex Arena.
It was a game that made a mockery of Villa’s poor start to the season as they produced a performance they would have felt was good enough to get the win against the Seagulls.

The impressive performance of Villa certainly did not go unnoticed among the Brighton players.
One such player was Shane Duffy. The Republic of Ireland international sent out this tweet after the game, highlighting just how impressed he was with the display of Villa:
There is no doubt that Villa have improved since the appointment of new manager Steve Bruce.
They remain unbeaten under his stewardship and are escaping the relegation battle with relative ease.

Now they are on the hunt toward catching Brighton at the right end of the Championship table and pushing toward potential promotion back to the Premier League.
There is no doubt that Aston Villa have the quality to mount a promotion push in the remainder of the current campaign.
If they can perform like they did v Brighton last night there is no doubting it will be on the cards.
