The social media team at League Two outfit Stevenage made use of the opportunity to poke fun at Aston Villa star Philippe Coutinho on Sunday evening.
Villa, of course, were back in action a short time ago.
Fresh off a morale-boosting four points from six in the league, Unai Emery’s troops turned their attentions towards matters in the FA Cup, in a meeting with the aforementioned Stevenage.
When all was said and done, though, the Claret and Blue were brought crashing back down to earth.
This came as Morgan Sanson’s first-half opener was cancelled out by Jamie Reid two minutes from time, before Dean Campbell silenced Villa Park courtesy of a shock Stevenage winner, to leave Emery and co. red-faced.
IN-CREDIBLE!

And, as alluded to above, amid the action in Birmingham on Sunday, the visitors’ social media team were sure to poke fun at one under-performing member of the Aston Villa squad.
Upon one-time Liverpool standout Coutinho being hooked from proceedings, Stevenage took to their official Twitter account, to unveil the following lighthearted dig:
‘The substitution took longer than usual as they had to dig him out of Luther James-Wildin’s back pocket.’
