da realbet： Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert has praised the finishing of two goal hero Christian Benteke, but claimed that his overall performance wasn’t good enough against Swindon.
da dobrowin： The Belgian international broke Swindon fans’ hearts when he scored Villa’s winner in stoppage time to put the Villans into the quarter finals of the Capital One Cup for the third time in four seasons.
Benteke and Agbonlahor put Villa two up before Robins substitute Miles Storey struck a brace to level the game.
“Benteke has had a quality start (at Villa) but his game wasn’t up to my standards,” the Villa boss told Sporting life.
“His two goals were world-class finishes but you set yourself a standard and we’ve got to keep him up to that standard.”
The 21-year-old has had a good start to his time at Villa Park and so far has kept out Darren Bent from the starting lineup.
“He is going to be a big player and plays in a brilliant Belgium team,” Lambert added.
Lambert wasn’t happy after the game and felt that his side were guilty of complacency after creating a two goal lead against lower league opposition.
“At 2-0 we were really comfortable and doing well and could have got another goal just before half-time.
“You become complacent and credit to Swindon for trying to play the right way but we deserved to win this game.
“I know how hard it is coming here and you’ve got to earn the right to win. It is not all glamour. It is a big win for us.”
Record signing Bent was left out once again, fuelling the rumours that the England striker may leave in January if he doesn’t start getting first team football.
