Christian Benteke has endured a pretty miserable few years at Crystal Palace, with the striker a shadow of the player that burst onto the Premier League scene.
A combination of factors have hindered the Belgian recently and his struggles could make people forget just how good Benteke was when he arrived at Villa Park from Genk.
He was pretty much unplayable in his first season, scoring 19 goals, with one of the highlights his magnificent display in the 3-1 win at Liverpool.
Benteke scored twice and superbly set up the other as Villa recorded a magnificent win at Anfield.
And, the club revisited that game this afternoon, with fans watching online and following updates on Twitter.

The performance of Benteke was the main talking point, as the supporters reflected on just how important and impressive he was for Villa in that 2012/13 season.
Here we look at some of the comments about the target man after these fans watched him power through to score the third and seal the points on the replayed match.
