We shot ourselves in foot: McLeish

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish was left bitterly disappointed at his team’s inability to build on their morale-boosting win at Chelsea after they were beaten 2-0 at home by Swansea yesterday.

The shock 3-1 triumph at Stamford Bridge on New Year’s Eve meant Villa went into the contest against the Welsh side on a high, but that feeling soon dissipated as a blunder from Stephen Warnock in the fourth minute allowed the Swans to take the lead.
