spoiled Tim Sherwood's first match in charge of
Aston Villa as Stoke City earned a 2-1 victory in
Saturday's Premier League match.
Sherwood saw his side remain in the bottom
three after Ron Vlaar hauled down Moses, with
the forward coolly converting from 12 yards after
the defender had seen red.
Scott Sinclair was able to take one of the few
chances the home side created as he headed
in his first top-flight goal since August 2012
after 20 minutes, but Stoke restored parity
before the break.
Mame Biram Diouf met Stephen Ireland's cross
seven yards from goal and placed his header
past Brad Guzan on the goalkeeper's 100th
successive league start.
A second half devoid of quality and chances
failed to lift the atmosphere inside Villa Park,
with Stoke slightly edging proceedings before
Moses' winner.
Villa drop a place in the table after the
defeat, while Stoke remain mid-table.
