Villa sliced through the Burnley defence, Cash feeding Diaby and then accelerating in the box to collect the return.<\/p>\n<p>When the ball was slid across, he couldn\u2019t miss from a few yards.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley hung on grimly to the half-time whistle without registering a shot on target and then Kompany introduced the knowhow of Gudmundsson for Benson.<\/p>\n<p>Within two minutes of the restart, Burnley had grabbed a goal \u2013 their first of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Luca Koloesha caused panic by running at the Villa defence and Connor Roberts fed Gudmundsson to head down in the box. Lyle Foster did the rest with a sweet connection from 12 yards to left Olsen clutching at thin air.<\/p>\n<p>Gudmundsson\u2019s outswinging corner in the next Burnley attack saw Roberts then volley over as the noise levels rose dramatically at Turf Moor.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/27\/16\/74770315-12450569-image-a-17_1693148842227.jpg\" height=\"422\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Vincent Kompany is still searching for his first points in the Premier League with Burnley after a barnstorming season in the Championship\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Berge was beginning to gain influence as he pushed further forward and his link-ups with Koleosho caused disquiet in the visiting defence.<\/p>\n<p>With Villa under the cosh, Olsen had to claw away a header by Delcroix who was picked out by Gudmundsson\u2019s corner.<\/p>\n<p>The visitors kept their cool and struck again in lethal fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Lucas Digne advanced down the left and pulled back on the edge of the box to Diaby whose first-time finish accurately nestled in the bottom corner.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley fans got their first glimpse of their latest arrival, Aaron Ramsey, when he replaced Berge midway through the second half, against the club he left for \u00a314million last week. Emery responded by also giving a debut off the bench to Italian Nicolo Zaniolo.<\/p>\n<p>He had an early chance to make an impact but his shot heading to the corner was deflected wide.<\/p>\n<p>Villa enjoyed the final 10 minutes and Cash even had a glory attempt at a hat-trick.
