On This Day
Villa lose for the first time in 6 Division One matches under Ron Atkinson as they are well beaten by Leeds at Villa Park and fall to 6th in the First Division table.
Dwight Yorke with 4 Goals in his first 35 appearances scores for the fifth successive game to make it 40 Appearances (25 Starts), W14 D11 L15, 9 Goals, 7 Assists and 1 Booking at a goal per game rate of one for every 4.44 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
10 Games into his Villa career (8 Starts) Dalian Atkinson has 6 Assists and 1 Goal involvement at a rate of one for every 1.43 games he has played so far in his Villa career. Atkinson is, however, goalless in his last 9 appearances.
Gordon Cowans, 33, makes the final appearance of his second spell with Villa before moving to Blackburn Rovers on a free transfer leaving with a record of 510 Appearances, 490 Starts, W224 D124 L162, 58 Goals and 95 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.31 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

What they Said
"We've had our backsides kicked.
"They gave us a good spanking, and on the evidence of that they are the best team we've seen all season."
Ron Atkinson.
GORDON STRACHAN put his old boss Ron Atkinson through televised torture as Leeds stormed back to the First Division summit yesterday.
The little Scot gave Leeds' public image the perfect facelift with an inspirational performance that enthralled millions of TV viewers.
But while it had manager Howard Wilkinson and a huge travelling support beaming broadly, it left his former Old Trafford boss shaking his head in disbelief.
Atkinson's Villa side went into the televised showdown on a roll of five straight League wins that had hoisted them from 14th to fourth. Yet they were given such a drubbing that the Villa manager was forced to concede: "We've had our backsides kicked.
"They gave us a good spanking, and on the evidence of that they are the best team we've seen all season.
"They showed belief and organisation, and when you see Strachan and Gary McAllister back-heeling the ball to each other you wonder whether our pitch is really that bad after all.โ
