Aston Villa failed to threaten for much of this game with Saints well on top. However, the Joleon Lescott goal just before half-time came at a huge cost.

Oriol Romeu scored his first goal for the club to make it 1-1 on 73 minutes and some late pressure failed to pay off.
Saints should have easily dispatched the Premier League's bottom club, but couldn't find that all important winner.
