On This Day
Holder’s Villa’s grip on the European Cup fails as three defensive errors gift three goals to Juventus 🇮🇹 in Turin to leave Villa beaten 2-5 on aggregate and out in the quarter finals.
Nigel Spink 🏴, hero of Rotterdam, let Platini’s 🇫🇷 routine shot trickle over the line on 13’
It gets worse for the keeper as he is totally taken out of the game, needs Allan Evans 🏴 to clear and Juve 🇮🇹 score from the resultant corner.
1-4 behind on aggregate at half time with twenty minutes to play Ken McNaught 🏴 is dispossessed on his own penalty spot for Platini 🇫🇷 to fire home his second.
Colin Gibson 🏴 contributes his ⚽ 🔥 10th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 133rd appearance at a goal involvement rate of one every 13.30 games.
Centre forward Peter Withe's 🏴 goal is his ⚽ 🔥 80th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 133rd appearance at a goal involvement rate of one every 1.66 games.
What they Said
“I did not think we were disgraced for once In front, Juventus are marvellous team.
“They have skill, arrogance and are a top class team.
"You simply cannot be generous as we were with a team of that quality."
Tony Barton.
