Aston Villa fans are currently enjoying the form of talented midfielder Callum O’Hare at loan club Coventry City. 

At the weekend that continued. The 21-year-old scored a last-minute winner as Coventry came back from 2-0 down to beat Blackpool 3-2.

O’Hare a St Andrew’s hero

But other then just seeing a top talent performing well there is another reason why Aston Villa fans are relishing in his current form at Coventry.

It comes after the League One club failed to find a resolution to continue playing at the Ricoh Arena. 

Aston Villa fans are undoubtedly enjoying the fact that O’Hare is proving a bigger hit at the home of their rivals then many of the current Birmingham first-team. 

Delfouneso duped

There was also another Aston Villa-laced story to O’Hare’s heroics at the weekend. He dropped a shoulder on a Blackpool player in the second half that forced the opponent off with an injury. It left Blackpool down to 10 men and helped Coventry pick up the win. 

The player in question was himself a former Aston Villa youngster, Nathan Delfouneso. Much like O’Hare, he was hotly-tipped to become a star at Villa Park. 

O’Hare will be hoping to do what Delfouneso could not, and go on to become a first-team star at Villa Park.
