Chris Sutton has singled out John McGinn for praise following Aston Villa’s win on Friday.

Dean Smith’s side beat Everton 2-0 at Villa Park to pick up a first Premier League win since being promoted back to the top flight.

New signing Wesley opened the scoring, before Anwar El Ghazi made sure of the victory late on.

McGinn, who opened the scoring at Tottenham earlier this month, wasn’t as involved last night, but his relentless energy in the dying stages helped Aston Villa double their lead and seal the points.

And here’s what Sutton made of his performance:

You can see why Aston Villa value McGinn at £50 million [The Sun]. The Premier League doesn’t faze him one bit and he’s only going to get better under Smith this season.

Smith’s side lost their first two games – a 3-1 defeat by Spurs, and a 2-1 reverse to Bournemouth.
