Aston Villa will not 'lie down', says boss Paul Lambert

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert says his team cannot "lie down" after an FA Cup fourth-round defeat at Millwall rounded off a miserable week.

Villa, 17th in the Premier League, lost 2-1 at the Den three days after being knocked out of the Capital One Cup by League Two side Bradford City.

"It's not great, but you have to keep going," Lambert told BBC Sport.

Darren Bent had given Villa the lead against the Championship side, only for Danny Shittu to level.

Then, with the tie heading for a replay, John Marquis's 89th-minute header put 2004 finalists Millwall into the fifth round.

Despite Villa's poor run, Lambert is still believed to have the support of Randy Lerner, with the Scot praising the club's American owner.
