Aston Villa coach is BRICKED on way back from Burnley as footage is shared with police
ASTON VILLA’s team coach has suffered “significant damage” after having bricks thrown at the front window.
Villa played their Premier League fixture away at Burnley earlier today and ran out as 3-1 winners at Turf Moor.
Matty Cash grabbed a brace and summer signing Moussa Diaby scored the other to help the team bag all three points.
Lyle Foster did grab one for Burnley but it turned out to only be a consolation goal.
However, the Villans’ celebrations turned sour as the team coach was bricked, SunSport understands.
The coach was bricked and the front window has suffered significant damage.
Coach footage has since been passed on to Lancashire Police.
Burnley released a statement saying: “Burnley Football Club is saddened and dismayed to learn about an attack on the Aston Villa team bus at junction 10 of the M65 after today’s match.
“Having spoken with Villa we are relieved to hear nobody was hurt in the incident.
“We strongly condemn this behaviour and will support Lancashire Police in their efforts to find whoever was responsible.”
The incident happened after Villa handed Burnley their second defeat of the season.
The three points helped Villa to back-to-back wins as they climbed up to seventh place in the Premier League table.
Manager Unai Emery praised his players after the game as he admitted that they followed through with the game plan.
He told club media: “I’m very happy. Our supporters, they were with us as well, they came from Birmingham to watch the game, to support us and we’re really very happy.
“We are feeling stronger with them. Those three points were very important in our idea to progress in the Premier League.
“After the match we played against Everton, a very good match as well, very good points after losing to Newcastle away.
“This was a very big challenge for us, we were speaking about it, and we tried to play tactically, defensively and offensively, strong. The players did the gameplan perfectly.”
