    Wesley is now back on his feet and seems OK.

    Odd one, that.

    Nobody wants to see this.

    Wesley is lying on the ground motionless after a clash with Ben Mee.

    He went down holding his face and it looks as though the Burnley defender, who got just in front of him, kicked the ball into his face.

    Ooh.

    Dwight McNeil whips in a corner to the back post where Ben Mee has peeled off to, but the Clarets skipper can only head into the side netting.

    Villa are looking pretty resolute at the back so far.

    £20m man Tyrone Mings has been colossal.

  5. CLOSE!published at 48 mins

    Aston Villa 1-0 Burnley

    Ashley Barnes bullies Frederic Guilbert out of possession and plays in Jeff Hendrick.

    But Hendrick's powerful effort is deflected over by a sprawling Tyrone Mings.

    The resulting corner comes to nothing.

    The hosts are good for their lead.

    Sean Dyche won't be happy with that performance from Burnley.

    Ashley Barnes catches Jack Grealish on the left and the Villans have another chance to put a ball in the box.

    Ben Mee gets his head to it and clears, though.

    Nick Pope!

    Jack Grealish comes forward and lets fly from the edge of the box but Pope is equal to it and tips it round the post.

    On seeing the replay, that was very accidental from James Tarkowski.

    Harsh to book him for that.

  13. YELLOW CARDpublished at 44 mins

    Aston Villa 1-0 Burnley

    Wesley goes down holding his face following a tangle with James Tarkowski.

    But Lee Mason only sees fit to produce the yellow card for the Clarets centre-half.

    Anwar El Ghazi is looking dangerous at the moment.

    He's in the box again but he can't direct his header goal-ward.

    Aston Villa 1-0 Burnley

    More nice play from Jack Grealish sees a chance open up for Wesley on the edge of Burnley's box, but the Brazilian striker opts to pass into open space rather than shoot.

    The hosts are finishing the first half strongly.

    Jack Cork gifts possession to Wesley in the middle of the park and Villa break again.

    The Brazilian plays it out to Frederic Guilbert, but this time Ben Mee rises highest to clear.

    This could be a worry for Villa.

    John McGinn is down on his haunches for a time... but it appears he's OK to carry on.

    This time Dwight McNeil's effort goes straight into the arms of former team-mate Tom Heaton.

    Aston Villa 1-0 Burnley

    But Burnley come straight back and a hard challenge by Frederic Guilbert on Ashley Barnes sees the Clarets win another free-kick on the edge of the box.

    Dwight McNeil stands over it...

    This time it stands!

    The Villans break quickly through John McGinn, who plays in Frederic Guilbert on the right.

    The right-back in turn crosses for Dutch forward Anwar El Ghazi who blasts home on the half volley.

    A lovely goal on the counter.
