Video: Ron Vlaar scores from 40 yards out for Villa

You might say that Simon Mignolet could have done better but this was still a great hit by the centre-back.

You might say that Simon Mignolet could have done better but this was still a great hit by the centre-back.

Their lead lasted all of one minute but that shouldn’t take away from what a great hit this was by Aston Villa centre back Ron Vlaar.

The ball dropped to the defender near the centre circle and he took one touch before smashing it with his right foot from almost 40 yards out.

Sunderland stopper Simon Mignolet seemed a little surprised by the effort and it beat him on his right side. As it was Vlaar’s first for the club, who can blame him.

Danny Rose equalised for Sunderland a minute later though, so it is game on at Villa Park.

UPDATE: Now it’s 2-1 Villa thanks to Andreas Weimann. One of those games…
