Evening Mail: Aston
Villa beat West Bromwich Albion 1-0 but it took a fine 47th-minute goal to
win a derby which flared up with the sending off of Albion's Lloyd Dyer.
Jamie
Ward started and finished the move which led to him drilling a low shot
past Russell Hoult. The
first half was mostly noteworthy for what didn't happen, particularly when
Villa defender Lee Grant got away with a clear 38thminute handball in the
box as Albion striker Rob Elvins tried to cross. The
second half was livelier, with Albion's Darren Carter shooting wide from a
pass by the outstanding Brian Smikle in the 51st minute and Ben Pringle
heading over from a 65th-minute cross by Albion substitute Chris
Humphries. Dyer
got his marching orders in the 78th minute for a head-butt on Williams.
Albion's new striker, Nathan Ellington, played the first half.

Gary Shelton: "It was a disappointing result especially as I felt we should have had a penalty for hand ball when Rob Elvins was in a good position. Both teams had chances but we conceded a sloppy goal when we let Ward run through us from just inside his own half, although he got a lucky ricochet.” "Lloyd just lost his head and I had a word with him afterwards." "Nathan Ellington had a couple of half chances and felt a little bit tired at first but he showed some good touches and it was good for him to build his match fitness because he's a bit behind the other lads."
