However, this was a high point in a dismal run of form in the which he scored just one goal in 12 league games. After the heavy defeat to <a href="http://profile-footballstars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Liverpool</a> and Despite his lack of form <b>Agbonlahor</b> was recalled to the starting 11 and went on to score a goal against Manchester United on 5 April in a 3-2 defeat for Villa. <b>Gabriel Agbonlahor </b>was nominated for the PFA Young Player of the Year with team mate Ashley Young winning the honor. <b>Agbonlahor </b>scored his first goal of the 2011-12 season in Aston Villa's 3-1 home win over Blackburn Rovers on 20 August 2011, and Followed this up with the Levellers in a 2-2 away draw against <a href="http://profile-footballstars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Everton</a> 10 days later. This Meant That <b>Agbonlahor</b> had equaled his Premier League goals tally from 2010-11 after just five games in to the new season. Meanwhile on the pitch <b>Agbonlahor</b> continued to impress, scoring the first goal and setting up Darren Bent for the second in a man of the match performance against <a href="http://profile-footballstars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Wigan Athletic</a> on 1 October. On 3 April 2012, after <a href="http://profile-footballstars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Aston Villa</a> captain Stilyan Petrov's diagnosis with acute leukemia, <b>Agbonlahor </b>was named club captain upon Petrov's diagnosis.<br />

<br />
<b>Busquets' </b>fine form continued in the 2009-10 season, with Guardiola preferring him to Barcelona's Yaya Toure as holding midfielder. Ironically, the incident involved <b>Busquets</b> and Thiago Motta, another graduate of Barcelona's famous <a href="http://profile-footballstars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">La Masia academy</a>. Motta had spent five years in Barcelona's first team Between 2002 and 2007 and, coincidentally, had been playing for the Catalans in the same role as holding midfielder <b>Busquets. Busquets</b> was again ever-diving for Barcelona in 2010-11, even playing as a central defender on occasion. On 8 March, playing at center back, he scored an own goal from a corner kick against <a href="http://profile-footballstars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Arsenal</a>, in the season's Champions League round of 16, leveling the score at 1-1. Barcelona eventually won the game 3-1 (and 4-3 on aggregate). <br />
