MATCH QUOTES
"Quality 'keepers do the bulk of their work without being spectacular, then produce a magnificent save like that one in the last minute. “It could be the most important save of the season for us. We didn't want to lose our home record. “Our form at Villa Park has been tremendous since I came here. "A defeat today could have destroyed confidence." Billy McNeill.
