Comments:

League position: 17th Victory in this match brought to end Aston Villa's run of 12 Premier League matches without a win including losing the preceding seven. As with last season, the Villans gained victory in this tie by a Christian Benteke penalty. That penalty winner on 29 January 2014 was the last time a penalty was converted for Villa. Christian Benteke scored from the penalty spot in the fourth minute of added time in the second half.

Comments:

League position: 13th Saido Berahino’s goal was only the third of his 18 goals to be scored away from home. Chris Baird replaced James Morrison in the second minute of added time in the second half.
