Nine man Villa lose to Manchester United with the customary help from the officials to leave them with a second Premier League defeat in eight games.

Villa lose for the third time in nine Premier League games and for a first time lose a match by more than the odd goal after having both Scott Carson and Nigel Reo-Coker sent off.

Villa fall back to 9th and the toxic combination of atrocious luck, form and poor refereeing performances against Manchester United continues.

Gabriel Agbonlahor scores his 15th goal in a Villa shirt on his 62nd appearance (55 Starts) to make it W20 D21 L21, 15 Goals, 6 Assists and 4 Bookings.

Scott Carson is sent off on his 8th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W4 D2 L2, 2 Assists, 9 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.12 goals per game, 4 Clean Sheets (50%), 1 Booking and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

Nigel Reo-Coker is sent off on his 11th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W5 D2 L4, 1 Goal, 1 Assist, 6 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a rate of a card every 1.57 games so far in his Villa career.
