Aston Villa were defeated by Stoke City despite the presence of Stephen Warnock. Stoke’s contrasting start to the season had seen them fail to register a point in their first three games, but record signing Jones, in search of his first goal since joining from Sunderland, was immediately involved.
The £8m summer buy was a menacing early presence and Stephen Warnock’s concentration was required to clear Etherington’s cross from his path after only 30 seconds. Nonetheless he and Robert Huth scored to give Stoke their first win of the season.
