Aston Villa 0-1 Stoke Highlights

Marko Arnautovic scored the only goal to give Stoke a second successive win and leave Aston Villa cut adrift in the Premier League relegation zone.

Arnautovic, who also had an effort ruled out for offside, exploited a huge gap in the Villa defence early in the second half to finish off the post.

Villa created little bar a credible Jordan Veretout appeal for a penalty.

Tim Sherwood’s side have not won since the opening day and lie 18th, four points from safety.
