The Canaries suffered a heavy 5-1 loss at the hands of Villa at Carrow Road in the Championship.

The 43-year-old was also impressed with the performance of Villa star Jack Grealish, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder.

According to WhoScored, Grealish took four shots, had a pass accuracy of 88.6%, won one header, made two tackles and one interception, and played two key passes,
