Aston Villa Outclassed a poor Birmingham as they now fall deeper into relegation.It was Birmingham who started of the best in the first half but could only muster a shot from David Murphy and didn’t really trouble Scott Carson . Aston Villa then got a grip on the game especially in midfield when Gareth Barry and Carew both went close.Stiliyan Petrov then went very close with a shot the moved all over the place and gave the keeper problems.The pressure told as Olof Mellberg mishit a shot and fortunately bounced right into Ashley Youngs path and smashed a shot past Taylor and right into the bottom corner.Birmingham then had a chance to come straight back when Nafti beat two players but shot over the bar.Villa went further ahead just before half time when Ashley Youngs cross was met by Carew’s head and it went straight into the net from point blank range.Second half started with Villa running Birmingham around and their defence was struggling.Young was then involved in the next build up as his long pass found Barry who squared the ball to Carew who slotted it into a empty net.Then Young capped of a fantastic display but adding a fourth on 64 in when he beat two players and had a shot which Taylor saved but it bounced straight back to Young who put it into the net.Birminham then subbed Zarate who wasn’t very happy with his managers decision with Forssell who then got a goal back for them after a really good passing move.But Villa then went on and got a fifth after a bad defensive error by Liam Ridgwell and Agbonlahor then ran straight through the middle and slotted the ball home.
