ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 21 December 2013
Villa slump to a third consecutive defeat as Paul Lambert once again delivers a very unhappy Christmas to leave Villa with just five wins in seventeen Premier League games.
Villa lose for the 3rd game in succession and the 8th time in 17 Premier League games under Paul Lambert as they fall back to 13th in the table.
Midfielder Chris Herd makes his 42nd and final appearance for Villa (36 Starts) aged 24 before being released by the club in July 2015. Herd had gradudated from the Villa youth team but his career would be regularly interrupted by long term absences that were never fully explained. Despite showing fine qualities in midfield and expected to be a fixture in the team for the long haul Herd would go on ply his trade in sporadic appearances in the lower leagues before moving into far east football.
Matt Lowton suffers his 25th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 52nd appearance (52 Starts) to make it W18 D12 L25, 2 Goals, 3 Assists and 13 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
