YES! Villa 6-1 over Sunderland

This was a second week of "Monday Night Football" for Villa.  I had to rely on AVTV audio feed as I was at work here in the U.S. (Noon start).  Benteke hat-trick, Weimann, Vlar, and Gabby score as Villa captures a critical 3 points (and provide some goal differential improvement too).

Still not completely out of the relegation-woods, but today's result was BIG in moving us closer to safety.

Whew...3 points.

It wasn't very pretty for most of the match, but fortunately Christian Benteke was able to head one home with only about 10 mins remaining to help Villa come away with a 1-nil mid-week victory over Reading.  These games are critical if we are going to have a chance of finding some safety.  With Vlaar out with injury, the young defensive line, lead by Ciaran Clark, did well considering the circumstances.

We are really missing a "field general" out there on the pitch.  So much young talent, but no one to really play the "Captain" role.
