Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert calls on Gabriel Agbonlahor to score more regular goals after the striker opened his account for the season in midweek.

Aston Villa manager Paul Lambert has urged Gabriel Agbonlahor to build on opening his account for the season by adding regular goals to his game.

The 27-year-old ended his 13-match Premier League goal drought by scoring in Villa's 3-2 away victory over Southampton on Wednesday.

Lambert has insisted that Agbonlahor has all of the physical qualities to be a constant threat in the final third and has backed him to use his pace to improve his scoring record in the coming weeks.

"I hope he can score a few more because he has all the attributes to do that," Lambert told reporters. "If he can add more goals to his game, then it would be a benefit to everybody.

"If he gets a run and a head start on you, then I'm not so sure many people would catch him. When you have that speed and power anything is possible, and he is a strong, strong lad, he really is a powerful boy.

"Nobody likes playing against speed. In the back of your mind as a defender, when somebody against you is really quick, it plants a seed of doubt. Do you go tight or try and beat them in a race?"

Agbonlahor's best goalscoring season was in 2009-2010, when he scored 13 times in 36 matches.
