Abraham double fires Aston Villa past Coventry into round four

Aston Villa booked their place in the Carabao Cup fourth round with a 3-1 win over Coventry City, and Tammy Abraham was the difference-maker with a two-goal display.

Quick start, instant reply

As Sky Sports report, Abraham gave Unai Emery’s side an early lead with a run through on goal, but it was soon cancelled out when Victor Torp scored a stunning free-kick that flew into the top-right corner.

Barkley restores order

Just before half-time, the advantage returned through Ross Barkley, who nodded in from Ibrahim Mbaye’s corner. Sky Sports also points out the impact of the 18-year-old winger in his first start for the club since moving from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Abraham seals it

With the game moving away from Coventry, Abraham made it two with a simple close-range finish, completing a comfortable night for Villa. Sky Sports add that the next round opponent will be Bournemouth.
