Result: Aston Villa 2-0 Wigan Athletic

Gabriel Agbonlahor starred during Aston Villa's victory over Wigan Athletic this afternoon.

The 24-year-old striker opened the scoring after 35 minutes by curling into the top left-hand corner of the net from 18 yards out.

Scorer then turned provider after the break, as Agbonlahor picked out strike partner Darren Bent with a cross and the England international headed past Ali Al--Habsi in the Wigan goal for his first goal in five matches.

The victory lifts Alex McLeish's Villa up to sixth in the Premier League table.
