Aston Villa 1 - 0 Everton

Luke Young scored his first goal for nearly two years to earn Aston Villa a 1-0 victory over Everton and boost caretaker boss Kevin MacDonald's chances of becoming Martin O'Neill's successor.

Villa had leaked nine goals in their previous two matches, including a 6-0 mauling by Newcastle at St James' Park.

But they managed to hold on for a clean sheet despite being on the defensive for lengthy periods.

Everton dominated for lengthy spells in terms of possession with Mikel Arteta pulling the strings in the middle of the park.

Scoring Summary:
Aston Villa
Luke Young 9'
