Troy Deeney double sinks sorry Aston Villa
Deeney wrote in his pre-match programme notes that he took no pleasure in Villa’s plight.
But you would not have known it after watching him celebrate a 90th-minute equaliser, followed by a winner deep into stoppage time.
“We’ll take that — and to score two against Villa was definitely a nice feeling,” said Deeney.
Villa twice led at Vicarage Road through Ciaran Clark’s header and Jordan Ayew’s strike, which sandwiched a fine free-kick from Almen Abdi.
The beleaguered midlanders, who had Aly Cissokho sent off with 15 minutes left, could not hold out as Deeney condemned them to a club record 11th straight defeat.
