The Holy Trinity: Aston Villa conclusions from squeaky Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers

Villa kept their winning run going but were far from emphatic against Wolves

It’s usually difficult to pick holes in a football team that’s been winning all of its matches and climbing up the table. Usually, but not always.

Aston Villa found a way to beat Wolverhampton Wanderers on Sunday and moved up to fourth in the Premier League, a satisfying but unconvincing home win that had the feel both of a match they should have won more easily and a match they would have drawn last season.

This 1-0 win was always about the first goal. Wolves were beaten as soon as Villa scored and resorted to just kicking the opposition.

My mistake; they were already doing that.

Here’s your Holy Trinity of match conclusions.
