Aston Villa striker Wesley showed his "massive" potential with a "colossus" display in the 5-1 win at injury-hit Norwich City, says manager Dean Smith.

The 22-year-old striker scored twice as Villa moved out of the bottom three and leapfrogged their opponents in the Premier League table.

Wesley, who has been criticised by some Villa fans, opened the scoring with a neat control and finish, doubling the tally with a tap-in before missing a penalty.

Villa's stunning win moved Smith's side up to 14th, with Norwich sliding down to third-bottom with their fifth defeat in six games.

"Wes was a handful for their two centre-halves, we got the ball into him, he kept it and it allowed us to break from him," Smith said.

"I thought he was a colossus up front."
