Villa concede a 90'+3 goal to lose a fourth successive game and increase their winless run to nine games but they remain 5th in the table.

Having delivered a thirteen game unbeaten run, winning nine, between 7 December and 7 February, Villa have now lost four consecutive games under Martin O'Neill and five in six in the Premier League since the first leg of the controversial UEFA Cup tie with CSKA. Yet this was far from a regulation defeat as Villa, in the ascendancy throughout, were undone by a freak injury time strike.

Brad Friedel plays his 200th consecutive Premier League game - the first player to do so in the history of the competition.

Gabriel Agbonlahor contributes his 50th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 134th appearance (124 Starts) to make it W51 D42 L41, 35 Goals, 15 Assists and 10 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.68 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
