On This Day

Tuesday, 26 October 2004

  • Villa suffer an embarrassing defeat to Championship Burnley in the League Cup as the doubts over David O'Leary - which had been dispelled by such a strong performance in the closing months of the 2003-04 campaign - re-emerged. 

  • Meanwhile the Villa boss makes increasingly detached comments about his reign and his accountability.

  • Luke Moore contributes his 1st assist in a Villa shirt on his 11th appearance (0 Starts) to make it W5 D4 L2, 0 Goals, 1 Assist and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.

  • Jlloyd Samuel makes his 125th start in a Villa shirt (145 Appearances) to make it W53 D40 L52, 3 Goals, 9 Assists, 19 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.

  • Mark Delaney suffers his 50th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 156th appearance (138 Starts) to make it W60 D46 L50, 1 Goal, 6 Assists, 20 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.

What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œEmbarrassing, because the team won by a mile.

โ€œThat was the best side we could field and we came here to win.

โ€œWe gave bad goals away and I feel sorry for the fans because they came a long way and deserve better than they got from the players.โ€

David Oโ€™Leary.

Championship outfit Burnley claimed a Carling Cup scalp as they knocked out Premiership side Aston Villa.

A strong Villa line-up went behind after just nine minutes when Graham Branch headed in Robbie Blakeโ€™s cross.

Blake, who was otherwise superb, had a penalty saved early in the second half but not long after Burnley struck again through a header from Mo Camara.

Juan Pablo Angel replied with another header but Louis Valoisโ€™ run and shot ended any hopes of a Villa comeback.

Villa boss David Oโ€™Leary showed he was taking the Carling Cup seriously by naming his strongest possible line-up against Burnley - who are struggling in 16th in the Championship.

But Blake, playing as a lone striker, outshone the efforts of Villa frontmen Carlton Cole and Angel.

After setting up the opening goal for Branch, the Burnley skipper embarrassed Liam Ridgewell with his skill wide on the left before forcing a vital deflection from Olof Mellberg.

And it was Blakeโ€™s deft reverse pass through to Richard Duffy that brought the penalty opportunity after Jlloyd Samuelโ€™s tackle.

But the strikerโ€™s firmly struck spot-kick was well saved well by Thomas Sorensen low to his right.

Villaโ€™s attack only came alive after Camara converted Burnleyโ€™s second.

The ineffective Nolberto Solano was replaced by Luke Moore and the youngster provided the cross for Angel to reduce the deficit.

But as Villa desperately sought the goal that would have forced extra time, Burnley sealed a superb win through Valoisโ€™ sweet shot into the top corner.
