On This Day
Villa destroy Fenerbahรงe in the first round of the UEFA Cup, scoring four and hitting the woodwork on three occasions and leaving the opposition to resort to rugby tackles to stymie Villa's attacking prowess.
Villa face Fenerbahรงe for the first time in competitive football, Fenerbahรงe become the 112th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football, Villaโs second continental European opponents and their first from Turkey.
Ron Saunders' Villa put Fenerbahรงe to the sword in the UEFA Cup 1st Round to make it four unbeaten in all competitions.
