Villa downed but not out

Martin O’Neill believes teenage striker Nathan Delfouneso is “knocking on the door” of Aston Villa’s Barclays Premier League side after scoring on his full debut in the UEFA Cup clash with MSK Milina.

Delfouneso’s stunning strike from the edge of the box was one of the few consolations on the night for Villa, who were beaten 2-1 at home by the Slovakian side.
