"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."
*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.
