On This Day
Paul McGrath hits a stunning volley to put Villa ahead but the game is overshadowed by a horrific ankle injury suffered by Gary Charles in the first half of the game and an extended spell on the sidelines missing the entire 1996-97 season.
Charles had scored his first goal for the club just 2 games earlier having contributed 8 assists in his 63 appearances in a Villa shirt to date.
Paul McGrath scores his 10th goal in a Villa shirt on his 322nd appearance (315 Starts) to make it W138 D84 L100, 10 Goals, 9 Assists and 17 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Having not scored in his previous 12 Premier League games, and then hit 5 in 9, Tommy Johnson has now gone 8 games without a League goal to make it 45 appearances in a Villa shirt (34 Starts) W20 D10 L15, 12 Goals, 2 Assists and 7 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.21 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

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.
