ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 25 September 2012
Villa's second string beat Manchester City's even stronger reserve side to deliver progress into the League Cup 4th Round.
Paul Lambert's Villa get respite from their severe problems in the League with a victory as surprising as it was welcome over Gareth Barry and James Milner's high flying Manchester City side.
That the damage was done by players hitherto out of favour with Lambert added to the hope that a side more representative of the talents of the squad would soon be seen in the Premier League.
Chris Herd makes his first appearance for a month to make it 30 appearances in a Villa shirt (24 Starts), W8 D10 L12, 2 Goals, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
