On This Day
Villa destroy Fenerbahçe 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 Fenerbahçe for the first time in competitive football, Fenerbahçe become the 112th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football, Villa’s second continental European opponents and their first from Turkey.
Ron Saunders' Villa put Fenerbahçe to the sword in the UEFA Cup 1st Round to make it four unbeaten in all competitions.
What they Said
“I thought we were a bit special tonight.
“We played more like we did last season and at times paralysed the opposition."
Ron Saunders.
