Premiership: Merson - Simple errors cost us dearly

Paul Merson blamed ‘‘schoolboy errors’’ from Aston Villa for squandering much-needed Barclaycard Premiership points on his return to take on Arsenal at Highbury today.

Villa’s ex-England and Arsenal midfielder had to come to terms with a 3-2 defeat, despite scoring Villa’s first goal on the way to a 2-0 half-time lead.
