Millwall 2-1 Aston Villa
Aston Villa became the 4th Round's first major casualties as they crashed out 2-1 at The New Den. After Tuesday's disappointing Capital One Cup exit Paul Lambert was hoping for success in a different competition. After a cagey opening Villa took the lead when Darren Bent scuffed shot found the back of the net after 22 minutes. It didn't take Millwall long to level and it was familiar defensive frailties for the Midlands club. Danny Shittu rose highest in the box to head home a corner.
The second half never really got going for either side but Millwall struck the final blow with only a minute remaining on the clock when John Marquis headed past Shay Given to book the South Londoners place in the 5th Round draw.
Man of the Match: Danny Shittu
