Aside from anyone associated with Hibernian, those with most reason to despair at this result likely work in Villa's commercial department.

McGinn played his part in a dominant performance, as did Leon Bailey and Douglas Luiz, the visitors' other goalscorers. Lucas Digne, the left-back who may not be a Villa player when Hibs visit Villa Park, provided a reminder of his value by setting up two of the goals. Contrary to Emery’s words in the build-up, new signing Nicolo Zaniolo was not involved despite travelling to Scotland with the squad. There was only one change to the team which beat Everton 4-0 on Sunday, Diego Carlos making his first start for more than a year in place of Matty Cash, with Ezri Konsa playing at right-back.
Martin Boyle, operating against Digne down Villa’s left, was Hibs’ brightest spark but his volleyed cross was just too far ahead of Elie Youan. For a brief while you wondered whether Hibs might make a game of it. Villa were guilty of being sloppy in possession but the hosts could not capitalise, a Jordan Obita shot charged down by Konsa as dramatic as it got for the visitors.
Half-time delivered a twist with Robin Olsen replacing Martinez in goal. Hibs briefly sniffed some uncertainty as Villa reshuffled and the Sweden international was forced to tip over Youan’s rising shot.
