ON THIS DAY
Paul Lambert's Villa lose their sixteenth game of the Premier League season to fall back to 16th in the table, two places clear of relegation and four points ahead of 18th placed side Wigan. As a result Villa remain a Premier League side for another season, something that had seemed an impossibility two months earlier when they sat 18th with fourteen defeats in 28 games. Meanwhile, defender Eric Lichaj made his final appearance for Villa aged 24 before moving on to Nottingham Forest on a free transfer in July 2013. Lichaj made 42 appearances, 12 as a substitute, and scored twice.
