Aston Villa 2-0 Wycombe Wanderers: Clark and Gueye avert upset

Goals from Ciaran Clark and Idrissa Gueye saw Aston Villa progress to the fourth round of the FA Cup beyond the stubborn Wycombe Wanderers.

Aston Villa left it late to see off Wycombe Wanderers 2-0 and secure its place in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

After Joe Jacobson's penalty earned the League Two outfit a credible draw at Adams Park 10 days ago, Villa looked like it was heading for extra time in the replay as it struggled to break down its opponents, which had twice gone close through Garry Thompson.

Ciaran Clark came up with the goods for the Premier League side, however, as he headed in Ashley Westwood's cross 15 minutes from time, before a fine goal from Idrissa Gueye settled the contest to book a tie with Manchester City in the next round.
