Albert Adomah scores, assists in Aston Villa win

The hosts took the lead when Jordan Amavi crossed for Albert Adomah to tuck home his first Villa goal.

Rickie Lambert's calm finish when one-on-one levelled the score, but Jonathan Kodjia's header restored Villa's lead.

Cardiff dominated the second half, but saw Lee Peltier sent off for a second yellow, before Rudy Gestede netted a penalty after Jack Grealish was fouled.

Adomah's compatriot Jordan Ayew played 63rd minute after he was replaced Gabby Agbonlahor who managed to get himself into the referee’s notebook for taking his protestations too far after Jack Grealish went down inside the penalty area.
