John Terry scored his first goal for Aston Villa in their 2-1 victory against Fulham this afternoon thanks to none other than Cork native Conor Hourihane.
The former Chelsea skipper powered home the Republic of Ireland international's free-kick midway through the first half and to give Villa the all-important lead.
Stefan Johansen fired back for Fulham before the break but Albert Adomah sealed Villa's fifth win from six matches in the second half.
The result lifts Aston Villa into the playoff places for the first time this season after enduring a difficult start to life in the Championship which saw them win just two of their opening seven games.
