Aston Villa Takeover Lincoln's Lead!

5th September 2006

Aston Villa, despite having more pressing matters today, still managed to find time to record a 4-2 victory over Lincoln City.

This match was a behind closed doors friendly at Aston Villa, as Lincoln sought to gain match fitness for several players due to an absence of reserve team fixtures.

Aston Villa also required a match as several of their "star" names are returning from injury. Among those who lined up against The Imps was Czech international striker Milan Baros. He scored one of Villa's goals with the others coming from Lee Hendrie(2) and Sam Williams.

Two of those goals came late on for Villa, to spoil Lincoln City's hopes of a shock victory. At one stage, The Imps were leading 2-1 thanks to goals from Danny Bacon and Ollie Ryan.
