Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce said:
"It's a huge frustration for us, the chances we create and we don't score. I've said since I've been here that we're over reliant on Jonathan Kodjia. But at least he's back for us now.
"Tonight we've had 19 efforts, we've had Robert Snodgrass hit the bar, Birkir Bjarnason's header from almost on the line and then Scott Hogan keeps one out for them. And you know it's not your night.
