Roberto Di Matteo was left bemused as Aston Villa's habit of squandering leads struck again in spectacular style.

The Villa manager saw his side dominate Nottingham Forest and turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead, only for Henri Lansbury's unlikely late equaliser to rescue a point for the visitors.

It was the fourth time in Di Matteo's seven games in charge that Villa had let slip a winning position and the club still have just one win since February.
