Richard: In some ways, a great Villa performance. Able to adjust tempo now, and clearly adapt to opposition. Ian Maatsen went well. Great to see Jacob Ramsey fit again, and really pleased for Robin Olsen, who often draws the short straw. Ollie grew into things too. Not sure a long cup run is needed, but who knows. Like the anniversary shirt too.

Aston Villa struck twice in five second-half minutes to stun West Ham and advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup with a 2-1 win, denying Graham Potter victory in his first game in charge of the Hammers.

Graham Potter suffers defeat in his first game as West Ham boss, as Aston Villa come from behind to win 2-1 and reach the FA Cup fourth round.
