ON THIS DAY
Paul Lambert's Villa lose their third game in five Premier League matches as concerns mount. Heavier defeats and worse performances than had been typical under both Lambert's generally poor predecessors Houllier and McLeish raised alarm bells. With goals at a premium and a defence struggling, the folly of Lambert having ostracised the experience of Alan Hutton and Stephen Warnock (now on loan at Championship side Bolton) and banishing Shay Given to the subs bench became ever more apparent. Five League games in it was clear Lambert wasn't the solution many had hoped. Meanwhile, left back Joe Bennett, 22, made his debut after joining from Championship side Middlesbrough for a fee of £2,840,000 in August 2012.
