Gerrard debut gives Aston Villa cause for optimism but Buendia issue must be addressed

Steven Gerrard started at Aston Villa with a solid win against Brighton, but his team still needs plenty of work to achieve their targets. Perhaps the opposition was the right one for a manager looking to make a mark on their home Premier League debut. Brighton & Hove Albion have had an excellent start to the season, but they went into their match at Aston Villa on the back of six league matches without a win and with a goalkeeper making his top-flight debut.
