MATCHDAY QUOTES
"The Villa came down in grand style, and John Cowan again placed his side in front."
*The Manchester Courier and Lancashire General Advertiser*
Monday, 7 October 1895
Aston Villa v. Sunderland.
At Perry before about 20,000 people. The Villa attacked strongly from the start, fine play by the left wing repeatedly placing the visitors' goal in danger.
Sunderland now infused more life into their game, a splendid chance being neutralised by Hannah being penalised for being off-side.
Continuing the attack, Sunderland made matters very warm for the Villa, only to find the defence equal to their best efforts.
Sunderland continued to press until half-time, nothing having then been registered.
Rain fell heavily during the first half, and the re-start was made under very depressing conditions.
The Villa led off with a strong attack, and immediately forced a comer. Athersmith took the kick, and, placing well, Campbell put his side in front with a grand shot.
Sunderland, evidently stimulated by the reverse, infused a lot energy into their play, and, from a beautiful combined run, Gillespie equalised from the centre.
The Villa came down in grand style, and John Cowan again placed his side in front.
Final Score : Aston Villa 2, Sunderland 1
