Lambert reveals tactical shake-up for Villa win

Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert admits they went into victory over Leicester City with a shake-up in tactics.

Lambert was delighted with the response from his players.

He explained: "I thought we played really well tonight. We worked on something yesterday for the first time, a different way of playing, we only worked on it one time. And fair play to the lads for taking to it.

"We just worked on things yesterday and asked the lads if they felt comfortable with it. They did. So I said we'd go with it. " said let's try it. I thought we were excellent at it.

"It should have been more. Kasper Schmeichel has had a really good game. But Christian (Benteke) has got to score two. When he goes through, he's got to score. And Jack should have scored."
