Villa Beaten At Derby

Carlton Cole's fourth goal in six pre-season games after 13 minutes was cancelled out by the home sides Junior as the teams went in at the break with the scores level at 1-1.

Ironically, former Villa favourite Ian Taylor grabbed what proved to be the winner for the Rams 17 minutes from time.
