Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa bounce back as Peter Withe scores his 10th and 11 of the season, one a half hit, snaking effort that wriggled past Bailey in the United goal and a second from a poor backpass by Kevin Moran. Villa climb back to a more respectable 11th in the table.

  • Tony Barton's Villa bounce back from their European exit and heavy defeat to Arsenal as a Peter Withe brace sees them beat Manchester United at Old Trafford to make it six wins, two draws and four defeats in twelve League games this season.
