Aston Villa 1-2 Middlesbrough

35 mins - Nicky Shorey won't want to see that one again. He gets into a terrible position from Stewart Downing's left-wing cross and the ball falls at the feet of Tuncay who slams the ball into the net.


37 mins - Ashley Young and Gabriel Agbonlahor have shots blocked and then James Milner floats over a cross to the back stick which Steve Sidwell heads into the net, to the relief of all around Villa Park.

88 mins - Steve Sidwell collects the ball five yards outside his own penalty area and his woeful back-pass falls straight at the feet of Tuncay, who fairly rifles the ball past Brad Friedel. What a result this would be, it's more Turkish delight for Boro.
