Ghanaian winger, Albert Adomah came off the bench to score as Aston Villa defeated Middlesbrough 3-0 to move into the Championship play-offs position.
John McGinn set up Anwar El Ghazi to break the deadlock in the 28th minute.
Villa took the game beyond the visitors following McGinn’s 44th-minute superb strike.
However, the former Middlesbrough star scored a late goal to seal the victory and also give Villa their fourth consecutive win that sent yet another message to the rest of the Championship.
Despite being excluded from Kwesi Appiah’s 24 man squad against Kenya in the final AFCON qualifier, the 27 year old will be hoping to continue his impressive former for the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt.
