Aston Villa have endured a turbulent start to the season under Steve Bruce, staying in the running for promotion from the Championship but not quite setting the world alight.

Things took a turn in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday evening though as Villa tumbled out at the second round stage following a defeat to Burton Albion, which left many fans on social media upset with the performance.

Albert Adomah was singled out for criticism after a night to forget that saw him have a penalty saved in the dying moments of the match, then putting the rebound over the bar from just a few yards out - which was always to attract responses.

He has been an ever-present figure for Villa so far this season but has a return of no goals and just one assist from his five Championship appearances, while also failing to provide the goods in his two Carabao Cup matches.
