Aston Villa donÂ’t impress in second leg

Aston Villa booked their place in the first round of the UEFA Cup when they drew with FH Hafnarfjordur at Villa Park tonight.

The match ended 1 – 1 but after their away victory of 4 – 1, the Villans are comfortably through to the next round.

Craig Gardner was the first player to find his name written down on the scoresheet. Aston Villa’s lead was short – lived. It took twenty six minutes before the opening goal was scored and only a further two minutes before Atli Bjornsson equalised.

Despite the rather inept performance Aston VillaÂ’s boss Martin OÂ’Neill expressed his satisfaction at having advanced through to the UEFA Cup proper.
