📊 January additions proving decisive for Villa against Cardiff | OneFootball

Aston Villa are minutes away from reaching the quarterfinals of the FA Cup as they currently lead Cardiff 2-0 at Villa Park, and they have a pair of new boys to thank for it.

With the arrival of Marco Asensio and Marcus Rashford, Villa received vital attacking reinforcements during the January window, and the forward duo have proven decisive for the club tonight, as they have previously.

Rashford set up Asensio for the match-opener in the 68th minute, making it the third time the England international has turned provider for his Spanish colleague on the club's home patch.

Asensio would go on to complete his brace twelve minutes later, with both players eager to prove themselves after recent torrid periods with PSG and Manchester United.

They're doing just that.
