ON THIS DAY
Thursday, 26 December 2013
Paul Lambert’s Villa lose for the fourth game in succession and the ninth time in eighteen Premier League games but remain 13th in the table.
Lambert had now lost six of his nine home League games this season and failed to score in nine of their eighteen matches.
Lambert and Villa, unsurprisingly, were the subject of derision at full time as a manager who had mystifyingly retained support after one of the worst seasons in living memory finally began to feel the wrath of a judgemental Villa Park.
Gabriel Agbonlahor suffers his 100th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 301st appearance (271 Starts) to make it W111 D90 L100, 75 Goals, 39 Assists and 35 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Ciaran Clark suffers his 40th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 96th appearance (86 Starts) to make it W31 D25 L40, 7 Goals, 3 Assists and 24 Bookings. Clark has now picked up a booking every 4 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
