5 out of 5 for Villa


Villa showed desire and determination to come from behind against Sunderland and make it five away wins in a row.

It represents their best run of results on the road for almost 11 years.

But they were made to work hard for all three points at the Stadium of Light.

They went in at the break one-down after Danny Collins rose highest to head home in a first half the home side dominated.

But Martin O'Neill's men came careering back after the break - James Milner equalising before Gareth Barry slammed home a penalty to earn the terrific maximum haul.

There was one low spot as Ashley Young was red carded midway through the second half.
