Villa supporter Prince William, donning a club scarf and coat, watched on at Villa Park from owner Randy Lerner's executive box but not even a touch of royalty could inspire the hosts and light up a dour Barclays Premier League clash.Indeed it was Sunderland who came closest to all three points as they chased their first away win of the season, although they do return to the north east with a first point on their travels since the end of August.Recalled striker Fabio Borini saw his glancing second-half header rebounded off the crossbar, while Emanuele Giaccherini contributed a worthy contender for miss of the season from a mere four yards just before half-time.But that was about as good as it got for the majority of the 33,036 present.Paul Lambert: "I don't think he'll watch Match of the Day."It's great, it's the first time since I've been manager here that he's been here, which is a great thing. But it probably wasn't an ideal game for him to come and watch."The hosts, who also boast prime minister David Cameron and actor Tom Hanks among their celebrity fans, were looking for their first home back-to-back league victories since August 2010.And Sunderland boss Gus Poyet hopes he has not disappointed Prince William."Is he not happy with me?," quipped the Uruguayan."He might have been thinking we're going to beat Sunderland because they are bottom and he didn't. So he might think 'look at this lot, they can play a little bit'."Paul Lambert: "I don't think we deserved to win the game, I don't think we deserved to lose it."But it's another clean sheet, looking on the positive side, and it's the same number already that we had throughout the whole of last year."We didn't do enough to win, although I didn't think we were going to lose."
