Emerton goal can't deliver goods for Blackburn

Aussie midfielder Brett Emerton scored overnight for Blackburn but it wasn't enough to overcome a resurgent Aston Villa. The Rovers were down 2-1 late in the piecebefore Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor netted in the 87th minute, effectively wrapping up the match. Emerton managed to draw some consolation by scoring an injury-time goal, the match ending 3-2 to Villa.
