Lambert: The stress levels were ridiculous
Even Paul Lambert, the Villa manager, was as animated as he has ever been in football on the touchline, anxiously awaiting the final whistle.
But in the end two last-gasp saves from Brad Guzan ensured a priceless three points would be heading to Lambert’s men and the relief was palpable after Christian Benteke’s 74th-minute penalty and Charles N’Zogbia’s 25-yard free-kick four minutes later had set up this first victory in nine league matches to take Villa out of the bottom three.
