McGinn apologises to Villa fans but provides hope despite Brighton horror show

John McGinn apologised to the Aston Villa fans after the 4-0 thumping at Brighton, but the team's captain is refusing to hit the panic button just yet.

Jack Hinshelwood struck twice in two first-half minutes as rampant Brighton ruthlessly exploited Villa with four goals in the opening 45 minutes, while midfielder Joao Gomes was sent off on his league debut five minutes shy of half-time to add to Villa's woes.
