*Sunday Mirror*
Sunday 22 September 1991

DWIGHT YORKE'S silky skills took Villa to a deserved win. They went one down after 12 seconds when Shaun Teale lofted the ball into his own net. But Yorke sent Mark Blake through for a 48th minute leveller and there was only one team in it after that. Kevin Richardson made it 2-1 in the 62nd minute when a corner was not cleared. A minute later Yorke went away on a run to score a goal that took the roof off. He was sent clear by Richardson and ran 70 yards before beating Mark Crossley with a chip that went in after hitting both posts.
