George Hemmings scored once and ran the show from midfield as Aston Villa thrashed Walsall 5-0 in a Club Friendly, setting up a far sterner test against FC Porto next. It was a stroll from the moment Brian Madjo opened the scoring in the 24th minute, the gulf in class between the Premier League visitors and their League Two hosts laid bare long before half-time.
