Aston Villa must learn from late goals, says Sherwood


Aston Villa must learn from late goals, says Sherwood 

For the second time in the new manager's short tenure, the Villans were downed near the end of a Premier League game, something which he wants addressed before it is too late

Tim Sherwood was left unimpressed by Aston Villa's concentration levels after they slumped to another late defeat, this time against Swansea City on Saturday.

Villa looked set to claim a 0-0 home draw with Garry Monk's men, only for Bafetimbi Gomis to strike three minutes from time to give the Swans all three points.

Sherwood's side suffered a similar fate in the new manager's first match in charge against Stoke City in February, when Victor Moses netted at the death, and the ex-Tottenham man is starting to become concerned by his team's switching-off late in the game.

"That's the second time it's happened now," he told reporters. "It happened in my first game against Stoke - although that [goal] was a little bit later.

"It's disappointing to lose in that manner. I think we deserved a point. They were better than us in the first period. I thought, after the break, we looked the most likely to score.

"Losing so late makes it even more disappointing. There comes a point in the game when, if you look like not winning it, you make sure you don't lose it. That's twice it's happened now. We have to try and address that.

"It's difficult to not be downhearted but, when I took over, we were in a hole, there were no smiles and morale was low. The spirit is a lot better in the camp and we have to make sure we don't take this defeat too hard."
