On This Day
  • A dominant performance from Paul Birch, topped off with an 11' volley to put Villa ahead, sees Billy McNeill's side progress to the League Cup fourth round at the expense of second tier Derby.

  • Billy McNeill's ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ณ๓ ฃ๓ ด๓ ฟ Villa win for the ๐ŸŸฉ sixth time in nine games under his leadership as newly promoted second tier side Derby are beaten in the League Cup at Villa Park.

  • Defender David Norton ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ sets up Garry Thompsonโ€™s ๐Ÿด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ goal โšฝ to contribute his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his ๐Ÿ•’ 39th appearance in a Villa shirt (38 Starts) following his promotion from the Youth Team.

What they Said

"We won the the ie because we scored two great goals. That's how Cup-ties are clinched and we certainly showed a lot of appetite.โ€

โ€œBut I thought we also showed anxiety in the first-half even after we had scored the first goal."

Billy McNeill.
