The Aston Villa train just doesn't seem like stopping anytime soon, does it?

Dean Smith's side have started the new Premier League campaign like a house on fire, and after demolishing reigning champions Liverpool 7-2 in one of the most historic results of the modern era, they made it four wins from four against Leicester on Sunday.

The Foxes had made a good opening to the season as well, and the clash at the King Power Stadium would surely have been seen as an early marker of whether either side can be the team to break into the top six - Brendan Rodgers' side, of course, did it last year.

With nothing to separate the two sides for the majority of the 90 minutes, up stepped new signing Ross Barkley to fire home the winner for Villa in injury-time, giving them all three points and sending them second in the table - only Everton sit above them, having played a game more.

But whilst Barkley proved to be the match-winner, it was Jack Grealish who once again led from the front. The Villa talisman may not have got himself on the score-sheet or be the man to set up the decisive goal - that fell to John McGinn - but he was the one who continually looked to create openings for his team, whether by his driving runs or superb vision.

As the England international has probably come to expect now, he was kicked from pillar to post, and it was no surprise to see that he was fouled a game-high of five times.

But despite the rough treatment, Grealish rolled up his socks - not literally of course - and took the game to Leicester more determined than ever, and in the remarkable 27 total duels that he contested over the 90 minutes, he won 17 of them.

He also provided four key passes and created one official big chance, and on another day, might have seen his teammates reward him with an assist through some better finishing.

In the end, Villa got their hard-earned three points, and no-one symbolised that resilient display more than their main man.

And in other news, this Villa transfer target is set for a move elsewhere.
