JUANPabloAngel was the inspiration behind Aston Villa's first away Premiership win of the season.
Angel was a constant threat to the home side and he forced Friedel into his first significant save on 26 minutes with a stinging drive from 20 yards after evading two home defenders.
Angel flicked on a long free-kick to allow Lee Hendrie to knock the ball across the face of the home goal, and Moore at the far post bundled the ball over the line for his first goal of the season.
