ON THIS DAY

Sunday, 13 September 2015

  • Villa go into a two goal lead only to then collapse and record their third defeat in five Premier League games.

  • This is the fourth time Villa had let a two goal lead slip to fall to defeat in the Premier League. 

  • Villa have now conceded 14 goals in their last 5 away games and lost 12 in 22 games under Tim Sherwood.

  • Centre back Joleon Lescott makes a losing debut in a Villa shirt aged 33 after his controversial signing from West Bromwich Albion for a fee of £1,260,000 earlier this month. Lescott becomes the 884th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football but his signing and time with Villa prove to be an unmitigated disaster on and off the field as his recruitment is seen as one of the biggest errors in the club's history despite hefty competition coming from a decade packed with underwhelming signings.

  • Jack Grealish scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 28th appearance (14 Starts) to make it W13 D4 L11, 1 Goals, 5 Assists, 2 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

  • Carles Gil scores his 2nd goal for the club on his 10th appearance in a Villa shirt (7 Starts) to make it W3 D1 L6, 2 Goals, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.

MATCH QUOTES

”I’ve never felt this bad. Ever. There was a lot of bad play there in the last half hour. The only way you can stop the momentum is to stop the opposition. We turned it over stupidly. “What can I say? I’m gutted for everyone who’s associated with the football club. We have to stop letting in soft goals. Who cares if we played well? We lost. Totally lost.” Tim Sherwood, Sunday, 13 September 2015.

MATCH REPORTS

Opens in New Window

*BBC Sport*
Sunday, 13 September 2015

*Unbeaten Leicester City produced a thrilling second-half comeback to recover from 2-0 down to beat Aston Villa and move second in the table.* Jack Grealish curled in a deserved opener from 20 yards, his first goal, for a dominant Villa early on and Carles Gil swept in a second. Ritchie de Laet volleyed the hosts a lifeline and Jamie Vardy prodded Leicester level. Nathan Dyer scored the winner with a brave late header on his debut. The winger had only signed from Swansea on loan on deadline day but made himself an instant hero and left Villa with just one win from five matches. He just beat goalkeeper Brad Guzan to a chipped pass from the impressive Riyad Mahrez before taking a blow to the head and staying down injured as the ball rolled into the net. Algerian winger Mahrez proved the inspiration behind Leicester’s second-half recovery as he continued his impressive start to the season. He had scored four goals already this season to help the Foxes to an unbeaten start, but a poor first half was mirrored by his side as they were dominated by Villa. He came to life after the break with a stunning display of pace and skill, having a hand in all three of rejuvenated Leicester’s second-half goals. His improvement, and his side’s, came when they switched to a 4-2-3-1 from a 4-4-2, as the Foxes took the game to Villa. They were well on top when Gil doubled Villa’s lead but, with Mahrez’s corner flicked home by De Laet, Leicester continued to push and got the goals their second-half display deserved. Leicester City have now gone nine Premier League games unbeaten, winning six, and are joint level with Manchester City as the Premier League’s form team since 4 April. Leicester have picked up 33 points from 14 matches and, with the exception of top scorers Manchester City, have scored at least 11 more goals than any other team in this period. There were fears for their top-flight safety after the sacking of manager Nigel Pearson in the summer but, under former Chelsea boss Claudio Ranieri, they have continued where they left off. Who will Grealish choose? Villa had to cope with the summer losses of Fabian Delph, Ron Vlaar and Christian Benteke down the spine of their team, making their slow start to the season no surprise. But 20-year-old Villa academy product Grealish helped his side control the first half, in just his second league appearance this season, and thoroughly deserved his first goal. He struggled to repeat his influence after the break though as Villa were undone by a vibrant Leicester. With the Republic of Ireland and England wanting him to commit his international future to them, repeats of Sunday’s first-half performance will increase the interest in the talented midfielder.
