Villa misery compounded JOHN Hartson piled further misery on Aston Villa as his second double strike of the season against the Midlands side gave West Ham a hard earned victory. Hartson scored twice last month when the Hammers knocked Brian Little's side out of the Coca-Cola Cup 3-0 in the third round. The Welsh international was the hero again in this Premiership re match as his 16th goal of the season confirmed him as the top flight's leading scorer in all competitions. His first goal came on 17 minutes following a long through ball from David Unsworth which he chested down before advancing into the area, holding off the Villa defenders and then firing past keeper Michael Oakes. Dwight Yorke responded with Villa's equaliser just a minute into the second half as he repeated his goalscoring feat from mid-week when he gave the Midlands side their vital away goal in the 2-1 defeat at Steaua Bucharest in the UEFA Cup. But just seconds later, as the Villa fans were still celebrating, Hartson struck again. The ball was swept quickly upfield and after again showing his strength to hold off the defenders around him. Hartson placed the ball inside the post to beat Oakes.
