Villa comeback beats Wigan

Curtis Davies scored his first goal for Aston Villa as the Villains battled to earn a 2-1 victory over Wigan at the JJB. Gabriel Agbonlahor wrapped up the three points with the winner late on.

Wigan had initially took the lead midway through the first half with Titus Bramble crashing home a header from Ryan Taylor's corner, an advantage they held into half-time.



However, Martin O'Neill's men came out for the second half a different side and created several chances before Curtis Davies' near post header was deflected off Denny Landzaat on the line into the roof of the net to bring Villa level after 55 minutes.

The visitors then went ahead with twenty minutes remaining, a moment of brilliance from Ashley Young took him past Mario Melchiot and he then chipped a cross from the byline for Gabriel Agbonlahor to flick into the back of the net, sending the Villa fans into raptures.
