ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 3 May 2014

  • Villa win for the first time in seven under the woeful Paul Lambert and record only their sixth home win in nineteen but it is enough to secure safety by virtue of the bottom three clubs being cut adrift.

  • Villa win their 10th game in 36 under Paul Lambert. 

  • He might have been awful but boy was he lucky. Offered more than nine lives by a credulous owner, Paul Lambert, once again, lucked in, and got a crucial victory to save his, and Villa’s skin once again. Given he had taken Villa to the precipice twice there was little celebration for his achievement, just relief that the nightmare would soon be over and a fresh start available ahead of another season. Or so we thought. 

  • Fabian Delph makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt (83 Starts) to make it W34 D25 L41, 6 Goals and 28 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Ashley Westwood contributes his 11th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 92nd appearance (67 Starts) to make it W19 D16 L31, 3 Goals, 8 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Andreas Weimann scores his 20th goal in a Villa shirt on his 67th appearance (47 Starts) to make it W31 D24 L37, 20 Goals, 7 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

  • Meanwhile, in another move of breathtaking stupidity, Marc Albrighton - having not been offered a new contract - makes his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Leicester City on a free transfer. Albrighton should have been one of the last players to be allowed to leave however such was the disarray and incompetence with which the club was being led, this yet to peak talent was discarded. In a depressingly ironic twist Albrighton would inspire Leicester to a frankly unbelievable Premier League title the same season that Villa were finally relegated after 6 years fighting the drop. Albrighton would leave, reluctantly, with a record of 102 Appearances, 59 Starts, W29 D29 L44, 9 Goals, 15 Assists, 13 Bookings and 1 Red Card. Lambert's play had stifled Albrighton and he would appear from the bench 16 times in 32 games under the woeful Scot but Albrighton recovered his form to contribute 4 assists in his last 8 games in a struggling team. How it was deemed acceptable to lose Albrighton is simply mistifying, that the player did not want to leave makes it even more so. The apologists for Lambert, of which there were still many, simply could no longer be taken seriously as his squad vandalism continued. The fervent hope was that Lambert would be out the door before Albrighton's contract expired enabling a new, competent manager to sign the winger to fresh terms. No such luck.

  • Centre forward Jordan Bowery contributes his 1st assist on his 20th appearance in a Villa shirt (4 Starts) to make it W7 D4 L9, 0 Goal, 1 Assist and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

🟩 3 May 2014, Villa 3-1 Hull, Villa Park.

MATCH QUOTES

“That was massive. “I just said to the lads in there: ‘I’ve been involved in massive games before but the pressure on that one was incredible.’ But they came through that. I thought they were outstanding and deserved to win the game. I thought Andi [Weimann] was brilliant, his two goals were probably long overdue, I thought Bowery was excellent coming on and [Fabian] Delph and Westwood were outstanding. It was a huge performance.” Paul Lambert, Saturday, 3 May 2014.

MATCH REPORTS

Opens in New Window

*BBC Sport*
Saturday, 3 May 2014

*Aston Villa all but secured Premier League safety after two Andreas Weimann goals inspired Paul Lambert’s side to victory over Hull City at Villa Park.* Hull were trailing in the opening minute, Ashley Westwood firing home from Gabriel Agbonlahor’s cross. Agbonlahor was forced off with a knee injury before an own goal by Jordan Bowery, his replacement, brought Hull level following Liam Rosenior’s cross. But Weimann restored Villa’s lead with a header before nodding his second. Villa fans have been on edge for most of the season. But they know they will be watching their team in the Premier League next season if Norwich fail to beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday. Villa’s final home game of an uncomfortable campaign ended in a solid win, a sixth success in front of their own fans effectively removing the threat of dropping to the second tier for the first time since 1988 given they have a vastly superior goal difference to 18th-placed Norwich. With their last two matches away from home against title-chasing Manchester City and sixth-placed Tottenham, Paul Lambert’s side needed to sign off with three points against FA Cup finalists Hull. And they were ahead almost immediately, Agbonlahor powering down the left before cutting back for Westwood to fire into the corner, the 24-year-old midfielder’s third goal of the season. However, Agbonlahor was hurt in the build-up to the goal and though the 27-year-old forward soldiered on, he was replaced by Bowery in the 24th minute. The replacement then made a nightmare start as he turned the ball into his own net while trying to keep out Rosenior’s low cross. Hull, however, were unable to build any momentum after the equaliser and have still to win a game since reaching the FA Cup final. Tigers keeper Steve Harper produced a superb one-handed save to deny Weimann, then did well to tip a Bowery header over the bar. And Villa took total control with two goals in four minutes from Weimann. Nathan Baker had twice gone close before the Austria international finally forced the ball over the line with half-time approaching. It was the 22-year-old’s first goal since January but his next arrived four minutes later. In the best move of the game, Weimann was well placed to glance Bowery’s chipped cross beyond Harper to give his side a two-goal interval cushion. Hull had come back from 2-0 behind at Fulham in their previous game but there were no heroics this time from Steve Bruce’s side. Indeed, it was Villa who went closest to scoring again, the busy Bowery getting behind the visitors’ defence to force another save from Harper. Villa’s players returned to the pitch after the final whistle to acknowledge the crowd and mark their last home game of the season. But it was more a lap of relief than a lap of honour.
