ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 20 January 2010
Villa win a thrilling but horribly disjointed match as individual brilliance masks poor game management to send Villa through to their eighth League Cup final.
Three games in quick succession against Blackburn and two wins under their belt already but Villa almost threw it away in the third instalment. For all the excitement and ultimate glory, basic, fundamental mistakes and poor team play saw Villa two down and behind on aggregate in 26 minutes only for a sending off (of future Villa defender Chris Samba) to bring Villa back into the game. Still though Villa allowed the game to slip, reaching a thrilling 5-4 scoreline before individual play rather than team solidity and execution brought Villa a 6-4 win, 7-4 on aggregate to send them through to their eighth League Cup Final and their first since winning the competition for the fifth time in 1996.
Stephen Warnock scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 22nd appearance to make it W12 D6 L4, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Stiliyan Petrov secures his 60th win in a Villa shirt on his 138th appearance (131 Starts) to make it W60 D44 L34, 5 Goals, 6 Assists and 21 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Brad Guzan concedes his 20th goal in a Villa shirt on his 16th appearance (15 Starts) to make it W8 D2 L6, 20 Goals Conceded, 4 Clean Sheets and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
