COVENTRY ASTON VILLA ZIMBABWEAN international Peter Ndlovu struck a great goal to settle an intense local derby and keep patched-up Coventry among the first division's high-flyers. The 18-year-old Bulawayoborn striker, whose native language is Matabele, must have seemed like a sorcerer to Villa's £1.5 million Irish left-hack Steve Staunton. Staunton was tormented by his young adversary, who in the 40th minute picked up the ball on the edge of the penalty area, dummied past the former Liverpool player, side-stepped Kent Nielsen and then beat Nigel Spink with a rifling left-foot shot. It was all Villa after that but Steve Ogrizovic made four fine saves from Gary Penrice,, Dwight Yorke, Paul McGrath and Nielsen. Little Micky Gym headed off the line from Penrice.
