ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 21 January 2017
Villa score their first goals of 2017 to take a two goal lead but new found frailties see them concede a draw as Steve Bruce's difficult start to the year continues.
Steve Bruce’s Villa squander Albert Adomah’s two goal lead to draw with Preston and remain without a win, and three defeats, so far in 2017.
Meanwhile, the sort of behaviour which we thought we’d seen the back of with the departure of the likes of Joleon Lescott, reared its head again as Ross McCormack’s set his Villa career on fire.
Midfielder Henri Lansbury made his Villa debut aged 26 after joining from Nottingham Forest for £3,060,000 earlier this month to become the 900th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Albert Adomah collects his 1st booking in a Villa shirt on his 21st appearance (17 Starts) to make it W7 D8 L6, 3 Goals, 5 Assists and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Another key plank of Villa’s descent to the second tier, midfielder Ashley Westwood made his final appearance for Villa aged 25 before moving on to Burnley for a fee of £5,220,000 later this month. Westwood made 162 appearances (151 Starts) over the 5 seasons he spent with Villa. Having signed him from Crewe Alexandra for a fee of £2,250,000 in August 2012, Villa made a decent profit on a player whose decline in form mirrored Villa’s. Westwood finally left in a move that was in the best interests of everyone with a record of W42 D40 L80, 5 Goals, 12 Assists and 27 Bookings.
Meanwhile, off the pitch, Steve Bruce launches an eviscerating attack on Ross McCormack for missing training.
