Harewood strike seals Villa win

MARLON HAREWOOD struck his first goal of the season as Aston Villa booked their place in the group stages of the UEFA Cup despite being held at home in the second leg by their Bulgarian opponents.

The former West Ham striker broke the deadlock after 27 minutes only for the visitors to level matters shortly after the break through a controversial penalty from Wilfred Niflore.

But Villa were always in command and are now guaranteed at least four more matches in the competition.
