Weimann reveals natural understanding with Villa striker Benteke

Andi Weimann is enjoying his strike-partnership with Christian Benteke at Aston Villa.

Weimann and Benteke, on World Cup qualifying duty with Austria and Belgium respectively, formed a formidable partnership last season and have continued to bring the best out of each other so far this term.

"Me and Christian showed last season that we like to play with each other and we've carried on like that so hopefully we can take it on and score a few goals," said Weimann.

"Christian is a brilliant player, we all know that. I really enjoy playing with him because he is a different type to what I am. He is a big target man who can hold the ball up and I like to run around a bit so I think we complement each other really well.

"We don't really talk about our understanding. Just on the pitch we both know where each other is going to run and that is really good."
