ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 23 September 2009
Martin O'Neill makes his customary changes for the Cup as Villa squeeze past Championship side Cardiff at Villa Park with Peter Whittingham and Riccardo Scimeca being welcomed back to their boyhood club. Peter Enckelman also returned but everyone looked a little embarrassed.
Gabriel Agbonlahor's 4th goal in 4 games wins it for Villa on his 147th appearance (135 Starts) to make it W59 D44 L44, 39 Goals, 16 Assists and 12 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.67 games played so far in his Villa career.
Left back Nicky Shorey, 28, makes his 39th and final appearance of his difficult spell with Villa (37 Startds) before moving on to West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £1,620,000 in August 2010. Shorey had joined for £3,960,000 just 13 months earlier during which time he recorded W20 D8 L11, 2 Assist and 2 Bookings.
Peter Enckelman, Riccardo Scimeca and Peter Whittingham return to Villa Park with Cardiff.
