Although Sunday saw Aston Villa fall to a 2-1 defeat at the hands of West Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers, the performance and Premier League debut from one of the club’s summer signings has got these fans praising their display.
Ezri Konsa, signed from Brentford in a £12m deal, has been resigned to a place on the bench owing to the promising partnership that has been developing between Tyrone Mings and Bjorn Engels. However, the latter’s absence from the match-day squad opened up an opportunity for the 22-year-old to start for Dean Smith’s side for the first time in the league this season.
Konsa was unable to prevent Villa’s defeat to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, with goals from Ruben Neves and Raul Jimenez enough to lift the Wanderers to eighth in the table, but these Villa fans were certainly full of praise after an assured display from the former England U21 international.
He may have conceded twice but that didn’t stop supporters from praising his display as the defender posted a tweet thanking the fans.
Here are some of the best reactions following Konsa’s full league debut for Villa.
