Tammy Abraham’s goal gives Aston Villa’s Dean Smith the perfect start
The Observer Championship It was not without a jittery finish but for Dean Smith, a boyhood Aston Villa supporter, this was an occasion worth waiting for. In the end, a first-half header by Tammy Abraham, relegated with Swansea City last season, proved the difference as Smith celebrated victory in his first game in charge and Villa their first win in five matches, reinvigorating the promotion push their fans so crave. Not so long ago, the former Brentford manager was one of them. Smith’s father, Ron, would show Sir Doug Ellis to his seat during 25 years working as a steward here, while he and his brother, Dave, would wipe clean the terraces in exchange for a pie and passage into the Holte End. Football League: Leeds continue to slip, Macclesfield avoid unwanted history Read more Smith may have grown up in Great Barr, four miles from this rocking stadium, but he knew he would be afforded no honeymoon period. A charged Villa Park was packed as almost 42,000 supporters, the fourth-biggest crowd in the country on Saturday, welcomed a new era and said farewell to Ellis, the club’s former chairman who died this month. Before the almighty roar that met Smith as he walked out of the tunnel for the first time, the club marked the life president’s death with a stirring minute’s applause as flags on the stand renamed after him flew at half-mast. There was a deafening chorus of the home faithful’s adaptation of Ghost Riders in the Sky, as a teary-eyed and suited Smith received a hero’s welcome. “It’s great to give them the first win, we want to try to get the bums off the seats here,” Smith said. “We are grateful for them all turning up in their numbers and it just shows what can happen at this club. It’s always a good start when you get three points.” Abraham relished his role as the focal point of a three-pronged Villa attack, with the striker ably flanked by two wingmen in Albert Adomah and Ahmed Elmohamady. Swansea struggled to contain a revved-up Villa and on eight minutes, when Elmohamady stood up an inviting cross, Abraham clambered highest to nod home his third goal in as many games. Smith swivelled in the dugout, fist pumping towards the Trinity Road stand where his dad once worked. A dream start almost got better too but neither James Chester nor Alan Hutton could connect with a low, teasing Jack Grealish free-kick. Swansea succumbed to what their manager, Graham Potter, described as a challenging environment for his young side, yet Villa were in the mood, John McGinn boisterous in midfield and Elmohamady enjoying a free rein. They did not have it all their own way, though. Swansea should have restored parity when Connor Roberts galloped down the right before cutting back for Jay Fulton but the midfielder’s effort lacked conviction and Barrie McKay was too sluggish in his attempt to sweep home the rebound. Villa had lost their vim until Abraham came alive in the box on the hour mark, smacking an effort goalwards only for Kristoff

France beat Croatia 4-2 in thrilling World Cup final in Moscow as jubilant Macron punches the air and billions watch around the world France have won their second World Cup title with a thrilling 4-2 victory over Croatia in the Moscow final A pitch invasion led by punk band Pussy Riot disrupted the game in front of watching President Vladimir Putin France took a early lead after Croatia's Mario Mandzukic scored an own goal in the 18 minute of the match Ten minutes later, his humiliating blunder was rectified with an equaliser from 29-year-old Ivan Perisic But France were once again back in front as Antoine Griezmann hit the ball home from the penalty spot Goals from Paul Pogba and Kylian Mbappe extended France's lead before Croatia's Mandzukic got one back France have won their second World Cup with a 4-2 victory a thrilling final against Croatia in front of a stadium full of passionate fans in Moscow and a TV audience of billions across the globe. A jubilant French President Emmanuel Macron celebrated wildly with his wife Brigitte while Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin watched on at Moscow's Luzhniki Stadium for the final game of the 2018 tournament. The match was disrupted in the second half when four people charged onto the field - with Russian punk band Pussy Riot claiming responsibility - leading stewards to tackle the hat-wearing pitch invaders. Macron was soaked as he joined the celebrations after the match, speaking to every victorious player as a storm hit the stadium after the final whistle, while officials held up an umbrella for Putin. France's Olivier Giroud holds up the World Cup trophy as players celebrate winning the title for the second time today The jubilant French team celebrates after the 4-2 win over Croatia in the Moscow final gave them their second World Cup win The French took an a early lead when Croatia's Mario Mandzukic headed a free kick into his own net after 18 minutes but team-mate Ivan Perisic cancelled out his error ten minutes later by firing in the equaliser. Antoine Griezmann restored France's lead before half time from the penalty spot after a lengthy video review which ended in a handball decision against Perisic. Paul Pogba extended their lead just before the hour mark when he curled in at the second attempt after Griezmann had laid the ball off to the Manchester United player on the edge of the box. Star player Kylian Mbappe's long-range shot made it 4-1 before final first-timers Croatia pulled a bizarre goal back thanks to an error from French keeper Hugo Lloris. The highest-scoring World Cup final since England won the tournament in 1966 gives France their second title, two decades after their first when they hosted the competition in 1998.
