Birmingham deep in trouble
20/04/2008 15:22 - (SA)
London - Aston Villa thrashed local
rivals Birmingham City 5-1 on Sunday to take their goal tally to
15 in their last three Premier League games.
John Carew and Ashley Young both scored twice for Villa to
leave City stuck in the relegation zone with three matches left
to save themselves.
Gabriel Agbonlahor was also on target for the home side
while Mikael Forssell scored a consolation for an outclassed
Birmingham side who have 31 points, one behind fourth from
bottom Reading.
Villa's victory put them three points behind fifth-placed
Everton and increased their chances of qualifying for next
season's Uefa Cup.
FA Cup finalists Portsmouth had the chance to close the gap
on Everton to one point if they won at Manchester City later.
Newcastle United were also in action later against north east
rivals Sunderland.
