Wesley had been criticised for his performance against Burnley but responded with two goals at Carrow Road
Aston Villa ruthlessly swept aside an injury-hit Norwich City to move out of the bottom three and leapfrog their opponents in the Premier League table.
Wesley opened the scoring with a neat control and finish, then doubled the tally with a tap-in before missing a penalty.
Norwich's defending continued to be woeful, allowing Jack Grealish to sweep in a third shortly after the restart.
Conor Hourihane and Douglas Luiz added more as Villa ran riot, before Josip Drmic tucked in a meaningless consolation.
More to follow.
