Weimann ensures McLeish has the last laugh

Manager Alex McLeish hopes the Aston Villa fans were “happy with my substitutions after all” following Andreas Weimann’s last-gasp winner against Fulham at Villa Park.

McLeish was on the receiving of boos from all around the ground and cries of ‘you don’t know what you’re doing’ after replacing Charles N’Zogbia with Weimann after 73 minutes of Saturday’s game.

But the Scot was vindicated as Austrian Under-21 international Weimann secured Villa’s first home win for more than four months in injury-time with his first goal for the club.
