ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 11 December 2012
Villa make it five games unbeaten in all competitions as they beat Norwich to secure a League Cup semi final spot courtesy of a 'second string' of players rarely used in Paul Lambert's struggling Premier League side.
Villa score as many goals (4) as they had managed in their previous 6 League games under Paul Lambert despite their Cup opposition being Premier League rivals.
Ironically and surely indicatively given their League struggles under Lambert, it is a squad featuring players not regularly included for the Premier League games that fire Villa through to another League Cup semi final.
Eric Lichaj contributes his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 34th appearance (24 Starts) to make it W12 D12 L10, 2 Goals, 4 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
