Donaldson Double Denies Villans

Villa roared into a two-goal lead inside ten minutes as Albert Adomah scored from the spot before Mile Jedinak doubled the advantage.

But former Birmingham City man Clayton Donaldson hit back with a double to ensure a share of the spoils, leaving Bruce to rue individual errors.

“I’m totally disappointed,” he said. “The one thing you can’t legislate for is individual error. It cost us last week and it’s cost us again in another big game.

“After a wonderful start and getting in front, we’ve gifted two goals to them and that’s disappointing because the one area we looked strong was defensively.

“We gifted them the opportunity to get back into the game and before you know it, it’s a difficult game – the crowd and everybody else has got on edge because of what we’ve basically given to them.

“If we’re going to be successful, we have to eradicate these mistakes.”
