Andy Liddell was the hero for Sheffield United as his two goals helped the Championship side to a thoroughly deserved 3-1 victory over Aston Villa in the FA Cup third round at Bramall Lane.Liddell struck twice in the space of a minute after Danny Cullip had equalised for the Blades following Gareth Barry´s opener just after half-time.The Blades played the better football and only Thomas Sorensen prevented them from going in ahead at the interval, but it was the Villa keeper´s misjudgement that handed the Championship side the decisive third goal which saw Villa go out in the third round for the fourth consecutive season.
