ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 25 August 2012
Villa are well beaten at home to make it two defeats from two games under Paul Lambert as the great hope already looks less than was promised.
Paul Lambert's Villa, three goals down by half time, suffered a second successive defeat as they were dispatched with ease by Everton at Villa Park. Two games into the reign of the effectively 'fan appointed' Lambert and things were already looking less than rosy with the newly installed Villa boss already talking of the relegation battle ahead.
Villa have now gone 12 top-flight games without a win for the first time since 1986-87 when they were relegated under Billy McNeill.
Nathan Delfouneso - having been called up by Lambert to make his first start in over 9 months - was substituted by Lambert at half time in what would prove to be his final appearance for Villa aged 21 before moving on to Blackpool on a free transfer in July 2014. In total Delfouneso made 51 appearances, 37 as substitute and left with a record of W15 D14 L22, 9 goals, 2 Assists and 2 Bookings from his 5 seasons with the club.
Karim El Ahmadi scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 2nd appearance to make it W0 D0 L2, 1 Goal and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
Barry Bannan suffers his 25th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 55th appearance (28 Starts) to make it W14 D16 L25, 2 Goals, 4 Assists and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
