What they Said
โWe are back in the championship race.
โWe didnโt play well against Leeds United in our last game at home but it was great to come back with a win against Manchester City who have been going so well in the League.
โThis win will set us up for better things to come.โ
Cyrille Regis.
"It was a satisfying display.
โWe showed our character and commitment to beat a good team.
โIt was a very good performance and scored three cracking goals.
โThey were all good goals although I wasnโt too happy with the one we conceded.
Ron Atkinson.
CYRILLE Regis and Dwight Yorke scored cracking Villa goals.
Then Tony Daley beat them both with a superb volley from 20 yards.
David White raised City hopes with a 65th minute header but they were soon swept away again.
Ron Atkinson, Villa boss, said: "It was a satisfying display. We showed our character and commitment to beat a good team."
Daley struck Villa's third goal after 70 minutes.
Playing as a striker in the absence of the injured Dalian Atkinson, Daley lashed in a left foot volley from just inside the penalty area.
Villa took charge after Cyrille Regis had headed in a cross from Steve Staunton after 26 minutes.
Winger Dwight Yorke added their second five minutes before half-time, heading in his sixth goal in seven games.
