Del boy keeps Villa hopes alive

ONE down, four to go. Aston Villa left it late, but they did what manager Martin O’Neill wanted – to win.

The exotically-named Nathan Delfouneso was the man to score the winner that put Villa back in the top six and in the European places.

O’Neill had said before this fixture that if they were to stand any chance of getting into Europe – he’s gone from “Champions League” just to “Europe” – they would have to win their five remaining games.
