Aston Villa duo Anwar El Ghazi and Trezeguet came under a lot of criticism from the Villa Park fanbase despite Dean Smith’s side winning.

A number of Aston Villa fans have been commenting on Twitter about their 1-0 win over Norwich City on Boxing Day and Villans midfield duo Anwar El Ghazi and Trezeguet were both slammed by sections of the fanbase.

El Ghazi and Trezeguet were named either side of Jack Grealish, but while the Villa captain put in a superb display, his teammates on the wings both flattered to deceive, spurning numerous chances and not exactly tormenting the Canaries defence.

In the end, substitute Conor Hourihane popped up with a much-needed winner, which saw Dean Smith’s side finally end their losing run, but despite the victory, there were still question marks regarding the displays of several players, El Ghazi and Trezeguet amongst those who copped the most flak.

Here is some of the social media reaction:

Aston Villa remain in the Premier League’s bottom three, a point adrift of West Ham, who have a game in hand, and up next for the Villans is Saturday’s trip to another relegation-battling side in Watford.
