AVFC HISTORY MATCH SUMMARY

Andy Gray puts Villa ahead with his sixth goal of the season before a stunning QPR goal gives the home side the advantage, Villa recover to put pressure on Rangers defence through to the end but it's not enough to prevent a second defeat in six.

MATCH QUOTES

Villa.gif
2509-2.png
"Don't worry, we'll get better. โ€œNaturally Rangers consider that Dave Clement goal was superb. But from our point of view it was bloody awful. โ€œHe picked the ball up ten yards to my right and was allowed to run half the length of the pitch before scoring and we didn't get In one tackle." Ron Saunders. "It was a really exciting game. "We played well until our second goal โ€”a memorable goal then Villa took over and showed why they had reached the top of the First Division table.โ€ QPR manager Dave Sexton.
