# GALLERY: Aston Villa v Birmingham

Aston Villa were triumphant in the second city derby today after a great second half performance from the Villa team.

Tim Sherwood’s substitutions at half time changed the game, and with Jack Grealish coming on at half time – he gave the Villa side much needed creativity in the final 3rd.

Summer signing Rudy Gustede scored the only goal of the game – thumping home a powerful header in the box after a Jordan Amavi pumped a beautiful ball from the left hand side.
