Villa boss McLeish: Herd should have scored

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish was disappointed with Chris Herd's late miss in their stalemate at Swansea City.

Swansea goalkeeper Michel Vorm twice denied man-of-the-match Gabriel Agbonlahor before Herd headed wide from close range in the closing stages.

And while McLeish was pleased to see his side respond after their 2-0 defeat to Tottenham, he felt with a bit more belief the result could have gone their way.

"With a wee bit more conviction we could have won. Chris had a great chance with his header, he is normally deadly there but he put it wide of the post."
