Scharner nets Baggies winner

22 October 2011 17:16

Paul Scharner's second-half goal earned West Brom their first away league win over 10-man Aston Villa for 32 years as they came back to record a 2-1 victory.

Villa went ahead through Darren Bent's penalty but the game turned Albion's way after midfielder Chris Herd was send off after 35 minutes for a challenge on Jonas Olsson inside his own box.

Chris Brunt missed the spot-kick but the Baggies cashed in on Villa's frailty at set pieces with Olsson equalising before half-time and Scharner netting the winner - both from Chris Brunt corners.
