Downing makes Villa debut

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill was delighted to see summer signing Stewart Downing finally make his debut for the club in the 1-1 draw at Burnley.

The 25-year-old England winger has spent the first few months of his Villa career recovering from a foot injury, but was fit enough to come on for the final 20 minutes at Turf Moor on Saturday.

O'Neill told the club's official website: "I think it is a big plus for him to get on to the field of play.

"In terms of real match fitness, he is a bit of a distance away from that. I felt with a little spurt here, he might provide a little bit of something for us.

"He got into the action early which was great and he can only improve from there.

"Just to go and get out there and be part of it after having that injury from the back end of last season is just great for him.

"He's a very decent player - he's played a number of times for England and he can play. But I think if he stays clear of injury we'll see the best of him from Christmas onwards."

Burnley 1-1 Aston Villa - Match report

A late goal from substitute Emile Heskey rescued a point for Martin O'Neill's side at a wet and windy Turf Moor.

Burnley were unchanged from the side which earned their first away point of the season a fortnight ago at Eastlands, while Villa made just one change from the side that thrashed Bolton with Stiliyan Petrov replacing Nigel Reo-Coker.

Burnley went in front after Robbie Blake had been fouled by Steve Sidwell. From the resulting free-kick taken by Blake himself, the Clarets skipper beat Brad Friedel to the ball for his first Premier League goal.


Cameroon international Andre Bikey had two attempts to increase Burnley's lead, firstly shooting over from the edge of the penalty area and then heading a Blake corner wide of the target.

Villa's best chance in the opening half came after hesitation from Burnley goalkeeper Brian Jensen which was seized upon by Gabriel Agbonlahor who found Ashley Young who was unfortunate to see his attempt drop the wrong side of the crossbar.

With the elements in their favour in the second half Villa enjoyed plenty of possession and Agbonlahor was denied by Jensen at the expense of a corner when clean through.

The home team had to rely on the counter-attack with striker Steven Fletcher producing a fine left-foot shot which Friedel did well to turn over the crossbar.

Both managers rang the changes with Villa introducing Stewart Downing after the wide-man's recovery from a long-term injury following his transfer from Middlesbrough.

But it was another substitute, Heskey, who ensured that Martin O'Neill's side left Turf Moor with a point when the substitute headed home from close range following a cross by James Milner.

While the result will no doubt disappoint Burnley manager Owen Coyle after his side were in front for most of the game, his team nevertheless demonstrated once again that this corner of East Lancashire will be a difficult place for opponents to come and collect points.

The result also ensures that while these two sides may not have met for many years, Burnley had not lost against Villa in 23 games.

After scoring so close to the end of the game Villa will no doubt be happy enough with the point but their away form remains a matter of concern when compared to the fine performances on the road which Villa turned in last season.

O'Neill keen on away success

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has admitted that his side may struggle to emulate their fine away form in the Premier League from last season.

Villa took three points ten times on their travels last term, but have so far won just twice in six games on the road this time around - losing 2-1 at West Ham in their last away game.

O'Neill told the Birmingham Mail: "This time last year we went on a fantastic run winning games away from home.

"We kept it going for a considerable time, which was important, but repeating that this season won't be easy.

"We have still managed a couple of victories away from home.

"We have had to play a few consecutive games away from home, that's why the 94th-minute defeat at West Ham was particularly galling.

"If we had not conceded that goal it would have kept our unbeaten run going since Blackburn, which would have been particularly pleasing having played quite a number of games away from home.

"The extra point against West Ham would have been great but, at the same time, our home form has been great since the opening day.

"We conceded a very harsh penalty against Blackburn. We could easily be unbeaten since then. We are doing fine."

Young choice shocked O'Neill

Aston Villa manager Martin O'Neill has spoken of his surprise that defender Luke Young has decided to retire from international football.

The 30-year-old right-back rejected a belated call-up for England's friendly with Brazil in Qatar this weekend, having decided to bow out of the international scene after winning seven caps.

O'Neill told his club's official website: "My own personal view is that you should try to keep going for as long as you can - both at club level and international. However, at the end of the day, it's his decision.

"It's always up to the individual, particularly with international football. It's not my position to decide for people one way or the other. I do not know what has gone on before or what made him come to that decision.

"Am I glad? No, not really. He is still very young but ultimately I accept his decision. It's not like he's 33 or 34 and injury-prone like Martin Laursen, where you have to make a choice.

"It's a hard one. I do not know the reasons why Luke decided to retire in the first place.

"England will be disappointed because it was an opportunity for him, but you have to respect what the player wants. It's Luke's prerogative to do what he wants."

Milner- Downing will deliver for Villa

The England international arrived at Villa Park in the summer from Middlesbrough with a fractured foot, but Martin O'Neill was nonetheless willing to part with £10million, which could rise to £12million, to secure his services.
Downing's debut for his new side has been pencilled in for next month and Milner, who is competing with his new team-mate for a place in England's World Cup squad, is confident he will add real quality to Villa's squad.
"It is great to have Stewart nearly fit," Milner told the Birmingham Mail.
"He is a top player. He will prove to be a great signing for us, another good addition.
"He has started training again. He has been out for a while so it will take him a few games to get that fitness back but he has worked very hard to get where he is.
"It wasn't a nice injury. It was a tough injury to get back from but he has worked very hard and it will be great to have him back and another great addition to the squad."


Aston Villa have made a large fan base across the world and their fans love to enjoy their thrilling moments into the play ground.

Retired: Aston Villa right-back Luke Young no longer wants to be considered for international football
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill was surprised by Luke Young's decision to retire from international football.
The Villa right-back, 30, who has made seven appearances for England in four years, told the FA last season he was no longer available for selection.
But the decision only became public this week, when he was asked about his availability ahead of Saturday's Brazil friendly after Glen Johnson returned to Liverpool for treatment on an injury.
O'Neill said: 'My own personal view is that you should try to keep going for as long as you can - both at club level and international. However, at the end of the day, it's his decision. It's always up to the individual, particularly with international football.
'It's not my position to decide for people one way or the other. I do not know what has gone on before or what made him come to that decision.'
The situation could be seen as positive for Villa, with there now being no risk of Young sustaining an injury on international duty.

Young shuns Capello and retires from international duty

Aston Villa defender Luke Young has turned down the chance to replace Glen Johnson in the England squad and announced his decision to retire from international football.

The former Tottenham and Charlton full-back has won seven caps for England, and last appeared in 2005 against Argentina.

Following an injury to Liverpool's Johnson, Young was called up by Fabio Capello, but the 30-year-old said he wanted to leave the international scene behind and concentrate on his Premier League career.

Manchester United's Wes Brown is now left as the only recognised full-back in the England squad ahead of their friendly with Brazil on Saturday.

O'Neill wants more from Carew

Aston Villa striker John Carew was challenged to show greater consistency after his superb display in the 5-1 thrashing of Bolton Wanderers.

The Norway international helped create three goals and scored one himself as he gave the Trotters backline, including former Villa duo Zat Knight and Gary Cahill, a torrid time.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill said after the game: "John played very well. You do get performances like that from him when he is absolutely brilliant.

"But then in other matches he is not as strong. We are looking for that consistency from him.

"Maybe not topping that performance, but maybe getting close to it.

"John accepts that himself, but this time he was a real handful and Bolton found it hard to contain him."

Aston Villa Vs Bolton Wanderers Results

John Carew restored some much-needed confidence in the Aston Villa ranks with a fine individual performance as he spearheaded a runaway win over struggling Bolton.

The well-built striker created the first two goals for Ashley Young and Gabby Agbonlahor.

Carew then notched the third himself and later won a penalty from which James Milner eventually scored, before the England winger produced the cross from which Carlos Cuellar scored Villa's fifth.

It was a much-needed boost for a Aston Villa side which has often promised much only to disappoint against lower division teams, but they had little trouble chalking up only their second win in seven games.

Bolton, the only team in the Premier League not to keep a clean sheet, were again found wanting in defence and have now conceded 15 goals in their last four matches and they are in obvious trouble.

Villa, meanwhile, were forced to make four changes from the side which played at West Ham in midweek. The most significant was the recall of Nigel Reo-Coker.

The Trotters keeper was again in action when he pushed out a Carew header from Milner's cross, but Ashley Young was on hand to net his third goal of the season.

This was a bad setback to Bolton's leaky defence. They were subjected to considerable pressure and as a result were unable to advance in any great depth.

The former Aston Villa central defenders, Gary Cahill and Zat Knight, combined to foil the threat of Agbonlahor and Carew following a somewhat shaky start, but it was only the lull before the storm.

A minute later, Cahill atoned when he went up into the attack and slammed his shot against the post with substitute Johan Elmander hitting home the rebound to put Bolton back into the game.

Any hopes of Bolton springing another surprise was dented in the 53rd minute when Carew's sheer persistence earned the Villa striker his third goal of the season.

In the 71st minute Carew won a penalty when pushed by Davies. Milner took the spot-kick only to see it saved by Jaaskelainen only for Steve Sidwell to hit his shot against the post.

Fortunately for Aston Villa, Milner was on hand to convert the rebound to seal the match and crush Bolton.

Results....Aston Villa Vs Everton Oct 31

Everton face a tough looking clash against Aston Villa at the weekend with their ever worsening injury list failing to cease.

David Moyes' men will be itching to get a win on the board with his team edging closer to the relegation and they sit in 14th place.

Senior players such as Tim Howard, Sylvain Distin and Tim Cahill must roll their sleeves up and fight for the cause whilst the Blues' squad is blighted by a massive list of injuries.

Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill will be hoping to use Everton's problems to his advantage.

His side sit seventh in the table and a win will consolidate their European push.

He will have been disappointed to see his team throw away a lead at local rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers last week although he will be pleased that Gabriel Agbonlahor maintain his hot goalscoring streak as he hit his sixth goal in eight games.

Curtis Davies (dislocated shoulder) and Stewart Downing (ankle) remain the only players on the sidelines for the Midlands club.

England wing wizard Ashley Young will be hoping to rampage down the Goodison Park flanks this weekend in the same way he did last term.

An eventful end to the match, but neither side did quite enough to win it.
