Fabian Hurzeler: "We all know we didn't deserve to lose. We deserved so much more. In games like this, the team who scores first wins. Villa did it out of nowhere with a set-piece. I feel sorry for the supporters." #AVFC

#AVFC edge past Brighton to consolidate their place in the Premier League's top three. It wasn't a pretty game, but a win was the order of the day. Villa are now six points clear of Chelsea in fifth - hugely important +3... 💪…

FT: #AVFC 1-0 Brighton Villa are at a stage of the season where they are labouring, so churning out points/wins is simply the only thing that matters. As Iraola said on Saturday, Villa often find a way when they aren't playing well. They did so, here - big for top 5 credentials

Mings, oddly, ran over to bailey before the corner to have a chat. Bailey then proceedes to whip in an excellent in-swinging corner, straight towards Tyrone Mings. Hinshelwood seems to get the last touch. My oh my, how #AVFC needed that! 1-0
