What they Said
"A last-minute Claus Jensen penalty miss meant Aston Villa held on to move level on points with Charlton."
A last-minute Claus Jensen penalty miss meant Aston Villa held on to move level on points with Charlton.
Juan Pablo Angel hit the post early on for Villa but Carlton Cole expertly headed the home side in front against the run of play.
Charltonโs Matt Holland also struck the woodwork but a slick Villa levelled with Vassellโs shot from close range.
Jlloyd Samuel got the eventual winner but Villa breathed a sigh of relief when Jensen missed from the spot.
Aston Villa started brightly, and Gareth Barry had a stinging 25-yard drive turned round the post by keeper Dean Kiely.
The Addicks failed to clear the corner and escaped when Angel headed against the post from a Thomas Hitzlsperger cross.
Charlton made the most of their fortune by scoring from their first attack of the game when Cole - on loan from Chelsea - headed in clinically from a Paolo di Canio cross.
Then it was the home sideโs turn to be denied by the woodwork when Holland played a one-two with Jensen before seeing his shot hit the post.
Defender Luke Young also put a shot just wide as Alan Curbishleyโs side looked to add to their lead.
But Villa gathered themselves and impressively brushed aside the setback with Vassell and Angel leading the fightback.
And, in front of watching England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, Vassell levelled after 24 minutes.
He reacted quickest when Barryโs shot was blocked and converted confidently.
The Valley crowd were being served a treat of football in an open and entertaining match.
Kiely was forced to tip over a Lee Hendrie shot on the turn just before half-time but he could do little when Villa took the lead shortly after the interval.
Villa were starting to seize the upper hand and took the lead when Samuel was played in by Barry and slotted home.
The visitors did not let their grip of the game go and Gavin McCannโs header bounced off the cross bar as they looked to secure the points.
Charlton had the perfect chance to grab an undeserved point when Jonatan Johansson earned a penalty but Jensen fired over from 12 yards.
