"?Steve Bruce expressed his delight as Aston Villa completed back to back wins for the first time since May 2014 after beating Fulham 1-0.
Bruce, who took charge at Villa Park after Roberto Di Matteo's sacking, has now picked up an impressive seven points from his first three games and said he was happy changes through the club are paying quick dividends on the pitch.
"We have made a decent start and I am delighted for the players. A week ago they were quiet. There have been huge changes throughout the club," said Bruce, who helped Villa achieve their first away win since August 2015.

"We have tried to breathe a bit of life back into the players. Thankfully when they respond, and get a couple of good results, that does no harm.
"We have everything in place to try our best. It is going to be difficult but it is fair to say we can only get better."
Bruce said he is handling the expectations at Villa and says he will continue to work hard to pull the club up from the depths of the Championship.

"Fulham didn't cause us any problems but they are a difficult team to beat.
"There are big expectations here at Villa and you are having a tough time. You have to dig deep and work your way out of trouble. But there is only one solution and that is to work hard to earn a few good results.
"We have got to turn things around. Villa Park has been an awful place for too long. Hopefully this is the start and we are going to go onwards and upwards."
