Post Match Reaction: Aston Villa (H)

A remarkable comeback saw us book our place in the 5th round of the FA Cup, despite trailing 2-0 at half-time.

Positives:
We've been known for our comebacks in recent years, but even by our standards, this turnaround was truly special! With backs to the wall and our FA Cup dream in tatters, a stunning fightback, led by the one and only Robin van Persie saw us safely through to the next round, 3-2 victors.

Negatives:
To go two down at home to Villa really put us in a position we shouldn't have had to fight our way out of. Defending was sloppy and we were caught on the break by Darren Bent.

Conclusion:
A terrific fightback, and with Man City and Man United now both out of the competition, this could be our year in the cup!
