Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is delighted with Curtis Davies' surprise return to action from a long-standing Achilles injury.
"He's done amazingly well but he's still well short of what I would call serious match practice. He played a little bit of a game against Notts County to get into things.
"Saturday was great for him against a very good set of forwards. His sharpness is obviously something he'll be working on but it was really great to see him back."
