InterToto Cup: Villa have 2-1 deficit for second leg

Aston Villa will take a 2-1 deficit into the second leg of their InterToto Cup semi-final against Stade Rennais following their first-leg defeat at the hands of the French side last night.

Stade Rennias stormed into a two-goal lead within the first 20 minutes and looked in the driving seat until Daruis Vassell pulled one back in the dying minutes.
