Villa secure stunning win

Aston Villa secured a stunning 1-0 victory over Slavia Prague, to end the Czech sides 14 match unbeaten run. It was a hard fought game though, and John Carew scored the winner.

O'Neill happy with victory

O'Neill said: "We were really great in the first half. Maybe we could have scored more goals.

"I believe now that seven points will definitely get us through to the play-off stages."

Steve Sidwell scored 26 minutes into the game with a low shot deflected by John Carew and Slavia skipper Marek Suchy to put the Premier League side ahead.

Ashley Young hit the post from a free kick two minutes later and Carew then forced a spectacular save from Slavia keeper Martin Vaniak with a low shot as Slavia struggled to produce a decent pass.
