Agbonlahor ends drought to sink City

Striker Gabriel Agbonlahor scored his first goals since January as Aston Villa twice came from behind to knock Manchester City out of the Capital One Cup, winning 4-2 after extra-time.

The England international hit two against the Premier League champions, semi-finalists in this competition in two of the last three seasons.

Mario Balotelli and then Aleksandar Kolarov had twice put the hosts ahead while Villa old boy Gareth Barry inadvertently helped his former team’s cause with an own-goal equaliser and Agbonlahor took the tie to extra-time.
