Andy Parton was stretchered off after a strong challenge from Villa left back Jlloyd Samuel to be replaced by Matt Sparow and Wayne Graves was also subbed off in the first half with a slight knock.

McLean went close in the 49th minute with a header but just three minutes later, Colombian international Angel slotted home at a second attempt after a good cross from Whittingham.
The third came on 54 minutes, Whittingham again making the opening, this time Allback finishing the chance thumping the ball home from eight yards.
England international Darius Vassell was subbed on to a good ovation from both sets of supporters and he looked extremely bright firing just wide after 61 minutes before setting up another sub De la Cruz for Villa's fourth of the evening.
