What they Said
"The only artificial aspect of Saturday afternoon in fact was a feeble Villa performance as they were comprehensively beaten 2-0."
They allow visiting supporters into Kenilworth Road these days, and thereโs grass on the pitch too.
The only artificial aspect of Saturday afternoon in fact was a feeble Villa performance as they were comprehensively beaten 2-0.
For the second consecutive away fixture, Ron Atkinsonโs men subjected their loyal followers to 90 minutes of tired, laboured football - and found they had run out of excuses.
Villa were lethargic from the outset and became more uncomfortable as Lutonโs confidence blossomed.
It was a mixed debut for Mark Bosnich. The 20 year old Australian kept the score in reasonable proportions with two outstanding first half saved but was later booked for ungentlemanly conduct after a dash to the touchline.
