Lambert hails Villa discipline for victory at Liverpool

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert praised his players' discipline for their shock 1-0 win at Liverpool.

An early scrambled goal from Gabby Agbonlahor gave Villa something to defend for the remaining 81 minutes.

"Tactically it was fantastic but you have to have lads who will carry it out and right from the off we were outstanding," he said.

"We have worked a lot on training and the lads have grasped what we are trying to do.

"It is hard coming here, a club that nearly won the league last year, a club that has Champions League football and a club whose resources are massive compared to ourselves.

"Right from Gabby (Agbonlahor) to (Brad) Guzan defensively we were immense.

"There was another goal for Gabby; he signed a new deal and has started the season brilliantly. If he can keep that form, great."
