Weimann wins praise from senior Villa teammates

Austrian striker Andreas Weimann has won big praise from senior teammate Andy Marshall.

Weimann was on the mark in their win over West Ham United.

"Andy is a phenomenal player," Marshall told AVTV.

"He is strong, he is fast and puts a shift in as well. He is not frightened to put his head where it hurts either. His goal was something special. When he runs at centre-halves they do panic because he has the pace to trouble them.

"The keeper made a fantastic save off the first one I thought but Andy did well to react quickly and put the ball in the back of the net.

"It was very difficult conditions. The pitch wasn't very good - it was very waterlogged, the wind was getting up and it wasn't very pleasant. But the lads put a good shift in and got a well deserved win."
