After a
2-1 loss at home to Newcastle, a
1-1 draw at home to Manchester City in the FA Cup, and a
0-0 draw away at Charlton, it was good to see
Villa beat Portsmouth
1-0 on Saturday and get a vital three points. They play their next three games away from home, starting with a difficult game against Blackburn on Saturday.
Over the other side of the pond the
Caps beat Toronto
5-3 in their first game back after the Olympic break. They went on to lose their next two games
7-1 to Ottawa and
3-2 to Atlanta, before bouncing back with a big
5-2 home win against the Islanders. The Caps play Pittsburgh at home later on this evening.
