ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 26 April 2014

  • Villa plumb yet new depths under Paul Lambert as he masterminds another loss against a relegation threatened side and leaves Villa hanging by a thread above the trap door for a second successive season. 

  • That Lambert should not be in post is unquestionable, that he is underlines the shameful, abject and incompetent regime that has been running the club into the ground since the summer of 2010.

  • Villa lose for the 18th time in the Premier League in 35 games under Paul Lambert.

  • Without an assist in 24 games under Paul Lambert, Marc Albrighton had now contributed 3 in his last 7 games to make it 101 appearances (58 Starts), W28 D29 L44, 9 Goals, 14 Assists, 13 Bookings and 1 Red Card. Indeed one of the few bright spots of Lamberts torturous reign was that Albrighton, who had shown such promise under Gérard Houllier and Alex McLeish was now finding form again.

  • Ashley Westwood collects his 10th booking in a Villa shirt on his 65th appearance (63 Starts) to make it W18 D16 L31, 2 Goals, 8 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Nathan Baker collects his 10th booking in a Villa shirt on his 71st appearance (67 Starts) to make it W22 D14 L35, 10 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

  • Centre forward Grant Holt makes his 10th and final appearance for Villa of his unexpected and widely derided loan spell from Championship side Wigan Athletic. Indeed Holt left as he came, overweight, unfit with no fanfare and little enthusiasm, Holt could never shake off perceptions that he was Lambert's man in a distressed, distracted and disunited dressing room and left with a record of W2 D2 L6, 1 Goal and 1 Booking. One thing for sure was his arrival was for anything but footballing reasons as the needlessly opaque and downright unpleasant atmosphere fostered by Lambert was continually being fed.

  • Brad Guzan concedes his 150th goal in a Villa shirt on his 100th Start (102 Appearances) to make it W35 D23 L44, 1 Assist, 153 Goals Conceded, 23 Clean Sheets, 1.61 Goals per League Game and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

🟥 26 April 2014, Villa 1-4 Swansea, Liberty Stadium.

MATCH QUOTES

“I’m not going to stand here and criticise a guy [Brad Guzan] who has been fantastic for me for two years. He’ll be disappointed with himself, but he’ll get no criticism for me. “It’s still in our own hands. In a nutshell, the Hull game next week is a cup final.” Paul Lambert, Saturday, 26 April 2014.

Saturday, 26 April 2014

*Jonjo Shelvey scored a wonder goal as Swansea all but guaranteed their Premier League status and left Aston Villa in danger of relegation.* Wilfried Bony put Swansea ahead, slotting the ball past Brad Guzan. Gabriel Agbonlahor converted Marc Albrighton’s cross to equalise before Shelvey volleyed home from the centre circle. Pablo Hernandez curled in a third before Bony scored his second with an injury-time penalty. The result leaves Villa just four points above the relegation zone with three games to go. Swansea’s first back-to-back wins in the Premier League since December 2012 means they are 12th in the table, eight points clear of the bottom three. Whilst Garry Monk’s men can potentially be caught by teams in the relegation zone, their goal difference - the best in the bottom half - is effectively worth an extra point. Their impressive victory at a wet and windy Liberty Stadium means Paul Lambert’s visitors are far from safe. The nature of their loss and poor run of form will be a cause for concern for the club. They have now lost five of their last six matches. Two of their three remaining fixtures are away at Manchester City and Tottenham. Villa were behind early on when Shelvey’s superb long pass put Bony clear and the Ivory Coast striker slotted the ball past the advancing Guzan. The visitors pressed in a bid to get back into the game, crossing the ball into the box at every opportunity. Karim El Ahmadi put Albrighton into space out wide and the winger’s cross was smashed into the net from inside the six yard area by Agbonlahor. It was the England international’s first goal since the New Year’s Day win at Sunderland. Villa’s revival was short lived and less than four minutes later Ron Vlaar’s poor clearance fell straight to Shelvey on the edge of the centre circle, just inside the Villa half. The Swansea midfielder controlled the ball before volleying a dipping shot over Guzan into the top corner of the goal. The strike seemed to take the momentum away from Villa as Swansea finished the half strongly. Villa pressed after the break but created little of note to threaten Michel Vorm’s goal. Shelvey’s low shot from just outside the area was tipped around the post by Guzan as Swansea pushed forward. The killer blow was finally delivered by Hernandez. Shelvey’s cross found the Spaniard in space inside the area and the former Valencia winger curled the ball high into the corner of the net. Late on Villa defender Nathan Baker was judged to have fouled Marvin Emnes inside the area whilst challenging for a ball in the air. Bony fired home from the spot to send Swansea fans home happy while Villa were booed off the pitch by their travelling supporters.
