Description
ZAT Knight insists Villa’s recent own goal bonanza is more down to judgement than luck with Martin O’Neill’s attacking team panicking opponents into giving them helping hands. Four players have put through their own net during Villa’s eight game Premier League unbeaten run: Gael Clichy (Arsenal), Kevin Davies (Bolton), Lucas Neill (West Ham) and Kamil Zayette (Hull). The costly concessions in recent months have resulted in Villa victories on each occasion and equal the number of own goals O’Neill’s top four hopefuls profited from throughout last season.
