Aston Villa: Zat Knight insists own goal glut is no fluke

Jan 10 2009 Mat Kendrick

“We do seem to have had other teams scoring quite a few own goals for us lately,” said Knight.

“I don’t know whether you would say it was because we’ve been lucky though.

“You make your own luck and the reason we’ve been getting those goals is because our delivery into the box has been so good.

“When you’ve got people like Ashley and James whipping balls into the box with pace then it’s difficult to defend against.

“Defenders have tried to deal with them by getting touches to clear them but the crosses have been so good that they’ve ended up going in.”
