ON THIS DAY
Monday, 29 April 2013
Villa record their biggest win under Paul Lambert and deliver one of the most important wins in their recent history as they score more than three goals in a game for the first time under Paul Lambert.
The win built crucial breathing space above the relegation zone with three to play, but Villa should never have been allowed to be there in the first place but for boardroom stasis refusing to act on Lambert's awful tenure.
If Villa's victory at Stoke was their biggest in decades, the game against Sunderland was the biggest pressure release valve in B6 seen for many a year. Villa's win lifted them to 16th in the table five points clear of the relegation places with three games left to play. As a result the final relegation place was between Wigan, Newcastle, Sunderland and Villa.
Christian Benteke scores his 1st hat-trick in a Villa shirt on his 37th appearance (35 Starts) to make it W13 D9 L15, 22 Goals, 8 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Christian Benteke became Villa's highest scorer in a single Premier League season with 18 goals.
Ron Vlaar scores his 1st goal and secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 28th appearance to make it W10 D7 L11, 1 Goal and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Andreas Weimann secures his 20th win in a Villa shirt on his 52nd appearance (33 Starts) to make it W20 D15 L17, 14 Goals, 2 Assists and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
