What they Said
"I'm not saying we deserved to get something out of the game, but we should have done."
Graham Taylor.
AN eighth minute goal by David Hirst was sufficient to give Sheffield Wednesday victory over Villa who failed to equalise in a second-half fight back during which their midfield man Andy Gray was sent off.
Villa had chances particularly in the 75th minute when a penalty kick by Stuart Gray was brilliantly palmed away at the foot of a post by goalkeeper Kevin Pressman.
Pressman redeemed his error for it was he who brought down Chris Price in the area as he fastened onto a poor back-pass from Nigel Worthington.
But Villa's effort faltered five minutes later when Gray was given his marching orders for striking Gary Megson in the face.
