Match Media
On This Day
  • Two blunders and a missed penalty award see Villa have it all to do in the League Cup semi final second leg at Villa Park.

  • Tony Barton's ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ Villa fail to score for the fourth time in ten games and sixth time this season as Everton take a decisive lead in the League Cup semi final.

  • Centre forward Peter Withe ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ with โšฝ one goal in his last 14 games makes his 175th appearance in a Villa shirt.

What they Said

"It was a blatant penalty. He pushed it away with his hand. I was horrified the referee [Alan Saunders] didn't give it.

โ€œHe was badly positioned and when I protested he said he honestly didn't see it."

Gary Shaw.


"It was there for everybody to see. It's sickening.

โ€œTheir lad [Kevin Richardson] definitely pushed it out with his hand.

"Two goals is a big target to pall hack but it is not beyond us. Looking tonight I never saw anything in the Everton side to make us fear the second leg."

Tony Barton.
