Aston Villa 2 Portsmouth 0

A good win against a poor Portsmouth side that featured several new signings (who all look to be Championship level players). A solid performance, but not a vintage one. Goals from Agbonlahor and Milner do the damage and Portsmouth rarely threaten, apart from a short spell in the second half that forced two good saves from Friedel.

Reo-Coker sent home for the weekend after reported physical tussle with Martin O'Neill. Surely he will be sold come January.

Agbonlahor's looking strong - causing problems, holding the ball up well and scoring for fun at the moment. Could he force his way back into the England reckoning? He has a chance, along with Darren Bent at Sunderland, another free-scoring forward this season.
