Swansea and Aston Villa are unable to find the net in a match that was played despite the death of Wales manager Gary Speed this morning.

Swansea City and Aston Villa shared the spoils on an emotional afternoon at the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.

Both clubs took the decision to play the fixture despite the death of Wales manager Gary Speed earlier in the day.

Neither side created any goalscoring chance of note during the opening 45 minutes, with both goalkeepers keeping their clean-sheets intact.

After the break a swerving effort from Villa's Gabriel Agbonlahor forced Michel Vorm into a save, while up the other end visiting keeper Shay Given spread his body to deny Swans substitute Leroy Lita.

As the match headed towards stoppage time Villa midfielder Chris Herd headed wide from close range from a Barry Bannan corner.

The point has moved Swansea up to 13th in the Premier League table, while Villa move into the top half.
