What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

"PAUL McGRATH proved that he still has a lot to offer Aston Villa when he netted a spectacular goal in last night's 1-1 draw with West Ham at Villa Park."

McGrath is on target with stunning volley

PAUL McGRATH proved that he still has a lot to offer Aston Villa when he netted a spectacular goal in last night's 1-1 draw with West Ham at Villa Park.

The veteran Irish international struck in the 27th minute when he met Andy Townsend's left-wing corner with a stunning volley at the far post.

That rare McGrath goal looked to have settled the issue until West Ham manager Harry Redknapp made an inspired late substitution.

He sent on Portuguese player Dani with five minutes to go and with his second touch, he set up the equaliser.

Dani's precise pass picked out Tony Cottee, who took the ball down on his chest and made no mistake from close range.
