http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Christian-Benteke-c9056’s late strike was enough for the Villans to bag all three points against Brian McDermott’s side at Villa Park on Tuesday, November 27.
Reading:
Adam Federici
The Australian goalkeeper had another impressive outing for the Royals. Remained solid throughout the 90 minutes, and made a decent save to restrict Christian Benteke from hitting the back of the net in the opening half. However, the gloves man could have
done nothing on denying Benteke from netting a late winner.

The talented left-back staged a solid showing, and made some decent runs forward as well. Developed good understanding with Jobi McAnuff, and threatened the Aston Villa back-line on a number of occasions with some decent crosses inside the box.

The Jamaican stopper impressed yet again with his aerial abilities throughout the 90 minutes. However, it was not the best performance put in by the 26-year-old.
Sean Morrison
The young Irish defender had another memorable night, as he was hardly seen on the wrong end. He perfectly timed his tackle and intercepted passes consistently to keep his side’s hopes of securing a good result alive. Remained solid throughout the game in
the heart of the Royals defence.
Shaun Cummings
The Englishman did well to restrict http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Gabriel-Agbonlahor-c14288 from creating anything threatening on the right flank. Made some decent runs forwards, and enjoyed another good game.
Mikele Leigertwood
The 30-year-old midfielder was hardly seen on the pitch, as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brett-Holman-c8047 tormented him with his pace at the centre of the park throughout the game.
Jobi McAnuff
The Jamaican international had a lot of burden on his shoulders ahead of the game to help his side in securing a good result. However, the midfield maestro failed to impose himself on the game, and his runs forward at the right flank also remained reward
less.
Jay Tabb
Struggled to assert his authority on the centre of the pitch. Played out couple of sloppy passes, as he tried his utmost to threaten the Villa defence.
Hal Robson-Kanu
The 23-year-old was unlucky to not add his name to the score-sheet, as the Villa goalkeeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brad-Guzan-c7954, made an impressive save early in the game to restrict the winger from scoring. Created plenty of problems for the home side’s back-line with his trickery
on the ball and his blistering pace. However, it was not his night, as he failed to help his side in claiming even a point.
Adam Le Fondre
The English attacker was far from his best on Tuesday night, as he failed to grab couple of decent goalscoring opportunities. However, his understanding with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jason-Roberts-c17973 upfront would certainly be a positive sign for Brian McDermott.
Jason Roberts
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Grenada-c2910 striker remained a constant menace for the Villans. The 34-year-old threatened the Villa defence on a number of occasions after linking up brilliantly with Le Fondre and Robson-Kanu. All in all, it was another decent performance put in by the
veteran talisman.
