Aston Villa 3 Barnsley 1Scott Hogan was Aston Villa’s match winner with two goals in two minutes to pave the way to a 3-1 Championship home win over Barnsley. Two minutes later the pair combined again when Hogan headed home a Snodgrass corner to the consternation of the travelling Barnsley fans. Villa allowed Barnsley to get back into the game with a goal from Dimitri Cavare. In a pulsating start, which produced four goals in the opening 19 minutes, Villa then regained the initiative when Conor Hourihane notched Villa’s third against his old club. The Tykes had only won four of their last 20 away games since beating Villa 3-1 in the corresponding match last February.
