ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 5 November 1989
Villa hammer Everton at Villa Park as they cruise to a 6-0 lead before conceding a couple of sloppy goals but nothing can detract from Villa's most thrilling performance for many a season as they rise to 4th place in the first division.
Villa make it four successive League wins and secure their biggest win of the season under Graham Taylor.
Ian Olney contributes his 10th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 33rd appearance (20 Starts) to make it W12 D10 L11, 9 Goals and 1 Assist at a goal invilvement per game rate of one for every 3.30 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Kent Nielsen scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 12th appearance (9 Starts) to make it W5 D4 L3 so far in his Villa career.
Having scored his first assist in a Villa shirt on his previous appearance, centre forward Ian Ormondroyd contributes his second assist in 19 appearances (10 Starts) but his goalless streak now extends to 16 games to make it W4 D5 L10, 1 Goal and 2 Assists so far in his Villa career.
