Conor Hourihane relishing thrill of being chased

Cork’s Conor Hourihane expects to be a DVD star back in the family home as he relishes feeling unbeatable at Aston Villa.

Villa have roared into second place in the Championship on the back of a seven-game winning run — their best sequence of results since 1990.

Ireland international midfielder Hourihane was on target inVilla’s latest success against arch-rivals Birmingham City last weekend with a stunning 25-yard volley that will take pride of place in his parents’ memorabilia collection.
