Aston Villa boss McLeish delighted with Given performance in Chelsea defeat

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish was pleased with new goalkeeper Shay Given's performance in their Asia Trophy defeat to Chelsea.

Given pulled off a number of good saves and McLeish feels the goalkeeper may represent the best piece of business in the transfer window.

"It's possible, we'll be able to tell that in the long run," he said.

"We knew what were bringing in so it was no surprise to see him pulling off saves like that, as long as he doesn't have to do that week in, week out."
