PL: Norwich City 0 - 2 Aston Villa

-

Jacob Ramsey played a key role for Aston Villa after a magnificent solo effort helped his die win 2-0 at Norwich.

The 20-year-old ran at the Norwich defence from inside his half before thumping the ball past Tim Krul to break the deadlock at Carrow Road.

Ollie Watkins sidefooted home Carney Chukwuemeka's low delivery to complete the scoring and deepen Norwich's relegation fears.

The player told BT Sport: "I've been watching clips of the gaffer (Steven Gerrard). He was one of the best goalscoring midfielders and that's what I want to be"

More reaction

This is how Steven Gerrard responded after the match.

 Ashley Young tweeted: "Dominant Performance! I think the smile on my face says it all, 3 points and a clean sheet away from home."

The reaction from Norwich City was obviously very different. They had the chance to climb a few places in the Premier League and will consider this a massive opportunity lost.

Former Villa boss Dean Smith spoke about the defeat for his new side. He said: ""We were too passive and never really laid a glove on them without the ball."

One Norwich fan added: "I'm not happy. I really think we're going to face another tough battle to stay in the Premier League.
