By Lewis Jones

Should Jonathan Kodjia's winner for Aston Villa at QPR have stood, after a foul throw in the build-up?

Should Aston Villa's goal have been chalked off because of a foul throw by Gabby Agbonlahor?

Jonathan Kodjia missed a penalty but went on to score the winner in a 1-0 victory for Aston Villa, who heaped more misery on Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road in the Sky Bet Championship on Sunday.

Steve Bruce felt his side showed a response to their midweek performance and was delighted to get the result

Villa's top scorer was denied from 12 yards by Alex Smithies on 31 minutes but redeemed himself with 17 minutes to go, powering home after a driving run.

This was the perfect response by Steve Bruce's side after he called his team "pathetic" in the 1-0 defeat at Norwich.

Ian Holloway says his side need some confidence and luck to help them turn around their recent run of poor results

But replays suggested that there was a clear foul throw in the build-up to the goal as Agbonlahor's feet were on the wrong side of the line when he took his throw in.

"Technically, the goal shouldn't have stood," said Tim Sherwood, who was working as a pundit for Sky Sports at Loftus Road.
