Half-Time Report: Aston Villa, Swansea City level at the break

Roland Lamah equalises for Swansea City 10 minutes before half time after Gabriel Agbonlahor had given the home side the lead.

It is 1-1 in the match between Aston Villa and Swansea City at half time.

It was a scrappy start to the afternoon with both sides unable to keep possession for any substantial time.

Leandro Bacuna sent in a dangerous cross, but Gabriel Agbonlahor was unable to reach it. Roland Lamah then had an effort blocked for the visitors, but Villa were soon ahead.

Andreas Weimann played the ball in behind the defence for Agbonlahor to run on to, and the striker made no mistake with his finish, slotting the ball past Gerhard Tremmel.

Despite falling behind, Swansea had the majority of the ball and created a decent chance with a speedy counter attack. Pablo Hernandez beat one man to create space before firing a shot at Brad Guzan.

The visitors had an even better chance to equalise a few minutes later. A corner was swung in and Ben Davies was unmarked around seven yards out. However, he headed the ball into the ground and over the bar.

However, Michael Laudrup's side were level 10 minutes before the break. Hernandez received the ball on the left and delivered a cross to the back post, where Lamah was waiting to nod it past Guzan in the Villa goal.
