Barnsley managed to beat Aston Villa 3-1 at Villa Park yesterday.
Barnsley fans have enjoyed having the last laugh over Conor Hourihane, after his move to Aston Villa in the January transfer window.
Hourihane refused to sign a new contract at Barnsley, and ended up opting to switch to Villa.
However, the central-midfielder failed to make an impact when his new side took on the Tykes last night.
Hourihane, who started for Villa in the contest, was unable to help the claret and blues, as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Barnsley.
Paul Heckingbottom’s side took the lead in the first half when Adam Armstrong tucked home from the penalty spot, and they never looked back as they claimed the three points.
Tom Bradshaw scored a double, and even though Jonathan Kodjia did hit the back of the net for Villa it wasn’t enough.
Barnsley supporters were delighted with their victory, and questioned whether Hourihane’s move to Villa is already doomed to failure.
Barnsley are now in ninth place in the Championship table, while Villa sit down in 16th spot.
