“Hutton has been absolutely fantastic since he has been in the side,” Lambert told Sky Sports.
“He is a guy who is on top of his game at the minute and I am delighted for him. He is a good player, I don’t think anybody should be under any illusions of that.”
The win pushed Villa up the Premier League table to 11th after struggling near the regulation zone only a few weeks ago.
“We are in a good bit of form,” he said. “First half we were fantastic, some of the play and retention of the ball was excellent and the game plan was great. We went behind to a poor goal that took a deflection but after that I thought were excellent.
“We looked a threat throughout the whole game. I know the lads can do things, I know we have goalscorers in the side, we have Gabby’s (Agbonlahor) speed, Charlie’s (N’Zogbia) creativity, and Christian (Benteke).
“I thought we should have had a few more, I thought Christian should have scored a couple, Jack (Grealish) also should have scored rather than pass.
“Everybody thinks Villa are struggling, but we are doing our best to get up there. The team are worthy of competing and if we can keep adding players to it let’s see where we go. There is a big expectancy level at the club, you have to rise to that, but the crowd have been great.”
Villa will travel to the Hawthorines to take on West Bromwich Albion next weekend.
