ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 26 December 2012
Villa are hammered for the second successive game, this time at home, concede twelve and fail to score as Paul Lambert throws out some of the worst gas-lighting ever known.
Those who had been watching closely knew this is where Villa were headed under Lambert but few could have expected the severity of his impact.
Villa had now lost nine of nineteen Premier League matches under Lambert conceding three or more goals on six occasions. Villa remained three points above the relegation zone but their goal difference was now significantly worse than the teams below them in the table with 18th placed Wigan their next opponents.
Paul Lambert's Villa follow up the worst ever defeat in the club's history with another heavy defeat to equal the Premier League record of the most goals conceded in two consecutive games.
Ciaran Clark suffers his 25th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 64th appearance (58 Starts) to make it W21 D18 L25, 7 Goals, 3 Assists and 17 Bookings so far in his Villa career. Clark has now picked up a booking every 3.76 games he has played.
