Villa defender Collins rues missed chances against Man Utd

Aston Villa defender James Collins admitted his side should not have allowed Manchester United to claw back a two goal deficit to draw 2-2 at Villa Park. Collins told Sky Sports 2: "We should have won the game (at) 2-0 up. The boys played fantastic.

"The second goal has killed us. We had a lot of chances against United."

Marc Albrighton paid tribute to his team-mates after picking up the man-of-the-match award.

He said: "Every player on that pitch in a Villa shirt did absolute wonders.

"We missed a few chances and you can't do that against a team like Man Utd."
