Starlet happy to shoulder burden

GABRIEL AGBONLAHOR insists he is happy to remain Aston Villa’s lone ranger as they continue their charge towards a Champions League place.

Agbonlahor has been deployed on his own up front by manager Martin O’Neill since John Carew was sidelined by a back problem.

But the England player has revelled in the role and is claiming his 11th goal of the campaign during Saturday’s 2-1 win over West Brom, although it has been officially credited as an own goal by goalkeeper Scott Carson.
