Aston Villa vs Stoke Highlights Video

Aston Villa 2 - 2 Stoke City

A more familiar-looking Villa side took to the field against struggling Stoke hoping to put their UEFA Cup exit firmly behind them. Tony Pulis’ side, without an away win all season, set their stall out to frustrate Martin O’Neill’s men with a 5-4-1 formation.
Aston Villa made all the running and Luke Young caused the visitors problems down the flank. Emile Heskey just failed to latch on to a Gareth Barry ball and another dangerous cross, this time from James Milner, saw Zat Knight head over. Stoke rarely troubled the Villa defence and only Mamady Sidibe managed to cause Brad Friedel worry. Nevertheless, it took Villa until just before half-time to make the breakthrough, Petrov firing home through a crowd of players.

Stoke’s problems were mounting as former Villa keeper Sorensen was replaced by Simonsen due to injury for the second half. However, the introduction of a fit-again Ricardo Fuller gave the Potters impetus. Only a last-gasp Luke Young tackle prevented him from testing Friedel and he later volleyed over as Stoke pushed forward. When substitute John Carew swept home a second on 79 minutes, Villa seemed home and dry. But Ryan Shawcross headed past Friedel from a James Beattie cross sending the home fans, and some players, into panic mode and Glenn Whelan picked up a failed clearance and fired home a last-minute equaliser from 20 yards.

When Martin O'Neill left 8 first team players at home for the midweek UEFA Cup game it was obvious where his priorities lie. Villa should breeze past Stoke but with the potential to rise even higher in the league table in coming weeks O'Neill is keen to keep churning out the results.

Villa are now 4 points behind Chelsea and Liverpool but have this game in hand. With Arsenal 5 points adrift Aston Villa can afford to look upwards and dare to hope of breaking into the top 3. While Villa's away form has been impressive they have dropped points needlessly at home. If their home form was as good as their away form they would currently be sat 2nd in the table and looking to keep tabs on leaders Manchester United for the title chase.

Only a win will lift Stoke out of the relegation zone at least until midweek. However, they are 1 of only 2 teams yet to win a game away from home so the likelihood of achieving this at Villa Park is minimal. Stoke did beat Villa 3-2 earlier in the season but a lot has changed since then. Will they be able to complete a shock double or will Villa add another 3 points to their impressive tally?.

Aston Villa v Chelsea Highlights Video

Aston Villa 0 - 1 Chelsea

19 minutes - Nicolas Anelka

Guus Hiddink took charge of his first Chelsea match at Villa Park with the league table having an unfamiliar look to it, Villa sitting 2 points ahead of the Blues in third
place.


Aston Villa boss Martin O’Neill would not have been pleased with some wasteful distribution from his team early on and it was little surprise that the deadlock was broken on 19 minutes by the visitors. A fabulous piece of skill from Frank Lampard, skipping between two defenders and a flicked pass, was matched by a cheeky chipped finish from Nicolas Anelka. Ashley Young nearly brought Villa level with a 25-yard free kick which rattled the underside of Petr Cech’s bar.


The second half saw Stiliyan Petrov deny John Terry on the line but Villa pressed
forward and only a spell of desperate Chelsea defending together with poor finishing from the home side kept the score at 1-0. The introduction of John Carew with twenty minutes to go failed to make the desired impact and Chelsea could have wrapped up the points with several good chances wasted but one was enough and Villa’s 13 match unbeaten run came to an end with Chelsea up to third.


The match was available live on our partner network Live Sport here. Match highlight videos will be added very shortly!



Goals and match highlights:

Gillingham vs Aston Villa Highlights

Gillingham 1 - 2 Aston Villa
13' 0 - 1 Goal James Milner
57' Simeon Jackson Goal 1 - 1
79' 1 - 2 Goal James Milner (pen)
Gillingham's emergency right-back Stuart Lewis insists he and his team-mates have nothing to lose when Aston Villa visit in the FA Cup on Sunday.

The odds are firmly stacked against the Coca-Cola League Two promotion hopefuls when they host the Barclays Premier League outfit, but Lewis refuses to believe there is no chance of a major upset.

Midfielder Lewis is almost certain to get his chance to feature at Priestfield in an unfamiliar defensive role as regular right-back - and team captain - Barry Fuller completes a three-match ban after being sent off against Brentford last month.

Aston Villa vs Arsenal Highlights Video

Aston Villa 2-2 Arsenal
40' 0 - 1 Goal Denilson
49' 0 - 2 Goal Abou Diaby
65' Gareth Barry (pen) Goal 1 - 2
90' Zat Knight Goal 2 - 2
Aston Villa's fight for Champions League qualification was given a significant boost as Zat Knight rifled home an injury-time equaliser to rescue a well-deserved 2-2 draw against Arsenal.

Martin O'Neill's side had battered the Londoners throughout the first half but somehow found themselves two goals down only to mount a superb fightback.

Goals either side of half-time by Denilson and Abou Diaby for Arsenal were not a fair reflection of the game and, after Gareth Barry's penalty pulled a goal back, Knight smashed home a stoppage-time leveller to maintain Villa's three-point lead over the Gunners.

With captain Martin Laursen missing Gareth Barry was made skipper for Villa.

Aston Villa vs MSK Zilina Highlights Video

Aston Villa 1 - 2 MSK Zilina
16' 0 - 1 Goal Vladimir Leitner
19' 0 - 2 Goal Peter Styvar
28' Nathan Delfouneso Goal 1 - 2
79' Red Card Vladimir Leitner
Aston Villa advanced to the last 32 of the UEFA Cup despite crashing to a 2-1 defeat against 10-man MSK Zilina.

Goals from Vladimir Leitner, who was sent off in the second half for two bookable offences, and Peter Styvar put MSK in control before Nathan Delfouneso pulled one back on his full debut for Martin O'Neill's side.

Villa could not find an equaliser but still join Hamburg and Ajax in the knockout stages.

They are now in a three-way battle to claim one of the top two spots which will ensure they have home advantage in the second game when the tournament reverts to a two-legged knockout competition in February.

Aston Villa vs Fulham Highlights Video

Aston Villa 0 - 0 Fulham
Gareth Barry squandered the chances to lift Aston Villa into third place in the Premier League after a 0-0 draw with Fulham.

The England midfielder, who has vowed to remain with Villa until at least next summer, could have had a hat-trick but his finishing touch deserted him.

Victory would have taken Martin O'Neill's side above Manchester United but the Cottagers followed up their goalless draw at Liverpool with another determined performance.

Aston Villa vs Man Utd Highlights Video

Aston Villa 0 - 0 Man Utd
Wayne Rooney was guilty of a glaring miss at Villa Park as Manchester United missed the chance to close the gap on Barclays Premier League leaders Chelsea and Liverpool with a 0-0 draw with Aston Villa.

Martin O'Neill's side ended their 14-match losing sequence against the Red Devils but the visitors could have cut the deficit on the pacesetters to six points after the leading two were both held earlier in the day.

Fit-again Rooney squandered United's best chance when he fired over the bar from close range in the second half.

Newcastle vs Aston Villa Highlights

Newcastle 2 - 0 Aston Villa
60' Obafemi Martins Goal 1 - 0
82' Obafemi Martins

Obafemi Martins blasted Newcastle out of the Premier League's relegation zone as Joe Kinnear's battlers claimed a second successive victory.

The Nigeria international scored for the second time in six days to hand his side a win which lifted them to 14th place, ahead of arch-rivals Sunderland on goal difference nine days after derby defeat had left the club wallowing in self-pity.

Having not had back-to-back league successes since April, six points from the visits of midlands duo West Brom and Villa inside a week represents a major boost for a side which had not kept a clean sheet since August 23.

Video Aston Villa vs Liverpool 31/08/08

Liverpool

Rafael Benitez suffered a torrent of abuse and saw his Liverpool side miss out on the chance to go top of the Barclays Premier League after a goalless draw at Villa Park.

Aston Villa fans taunted the Reds boss with chants of `There's only one Gareth Barry' after the collapse of the England midfielder's move to Liverpool, and some of the crowd aimed personal insults at the Reds manager.

Aston Villa vs Man City Video

Aston Villa 4 - 2 Man City

76' Gabriel Agbonlahor Goal 4 - 1
89' 4 - 2 Goal Vedran Corluka
Gabby Agbonlahor admits he owes a huge debt of gratitude to Villa boss Martin O'Neill.

The England Under-21 international been a virtual ever-present since O'Neill succeeded David O'Leary in August 2006.

And, as he penned a new four-year deal yesterday, Erdington-born Agbonlahor vowed to keep producing the goods for the man who set him on the road to Barclays Premier League stardom.

FH Hafnarfjordur vs Aston Villa Video

FH Hafnarfjordur 1 - 4 Aston Villa
UEFA Cup (Qualifying Round) 19:00 uk

Gareth Barry has given Villa a massive boost ahead of the UEFA Cup qualifier against FH Hafnarfjordur by declaring himself 'ready, willing and able' to play.

Martin O'Neill admits Barry's future remains up in the air but the England star travelled out to Iceland this morning and trained with his team mates at the Laugardalsvöllur Stadium in Reykjavik this evening.

Man Utd 4-0 Aston Villa

Wayne Rooney grabbed a brace just when Manchester United needed it the most as the Red Devils moved six points clear of the rest at the top of the Barclays Premier League with a 4-0 home demolition of Aston Villa.

The England striker had gone six matches for the title-chasers without hitting the target, but he rediscovered his touch at Old Trafford as United made it six straight league wins to tighten their grip at the top.

Cristiano Ronaldo opened the scoring with his 35th goal of a remarkable season and Carlos Tevez added a second to leave Villa stunned.
