On This Day

Villa bounce back from their late defeat to Coventry to secure their first win in 6 and second in their last 11 as David Platt ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ misses his first game of the season.
Meanwhile the Evening Mail still aren't happy because Jozef Vengloลก' ๐จ๐ฟ ๐ฉ 13th win in 31 games (9 defeats) wasn't exciting enough despite his side sitting 13th in the table.
Winger Nigel Callaghan ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ, 26, makes his ๐ 31st and final appearance in a Villa shirt (27 Starts) two years after Villa paid Derby County ยฃ650,000 for his services. In total Callaghan proved to be one of the least successful signings in Villaโs history leaving with a record of ๐ฉ W7 ๐จ D9 ๐ฅ L15, โฝ 1 Goals and ๐ฅ 4 Assist across his underwhelming Villa career.

What they Said
"Cascarino's 73rd minute effort was quickly followed by a neatly taken first senior goal for 19-year-old substitute Dwight Yorke."
It's a SOUNDS like a real thriller doesn't it. The scoreline, I'm afraid, tells a lie, as anyone among the 21,852 crowd will unhappily confirm. This, in fact, was very much a Villa Chiller, even if the outcome provided warming and comforting protection against the remaining ravages of winter.
On the basis that results are all important, there will be no complaints from the Villa camp. But had . this match been edited for television highlights, the producer would surely have settled for a rerun of the final 3 minutes, and left it at that.
In a frantic finale, we were treated to a rare Tony Cascarino goal, two left-foot efforts from the Republic of Ireland striker which deserved better fate, a first Villa goal for Dwight Yorke, and a Derby revival Inspired by Mel Sage's 25-yarder.
Exciting stuff but what went before the storming finish, though, was truly dreadful.
An untidy first half, in which desperate Derby were the better side, is easily erased from the memory, and that includes the two goals.
Poor Nigel Spink, whose consistent form has been one of the plus points of a disappointing campaign, will have nightmares about the Mick Harford header which slipped under his body after 26 minutes.
Villa equalised within two minutes from a penalty by Gordon Cowans after a handling offence by Gary Micklewhite.
Cascarino increased Derby County's relegation worries with his first League goal for five months tapping in the easiest of chances as Villa broke Derby's resistance with two goals in a three-minute burst in the second half.
Cascarino's 73rd minute effort was quickly followed by a neatly taken first senior goal for 19-year-old substitute Dwight Yorke.
Fullback Mel Sage set up a hectic finish with a well-struck goal for Derby after 81 minutes but they are now deep in trouble.
