What they Said
"Coventry have never won at Villa Park - and you wonder if they ever will - in 18 League games during their 25 years in the First Division."
VILLA did their best to put Midland rivals Coventry into Division Two.
Sky Blue old boy Cyrille Regis opened the scoring after only 20 seconds with a spectacular, header.
And Dwight Yorke hit a matching header later in the first half to underline Villa's superiority.
But lucky Coventry escaped the drop because of Luton's defeat at Notts County.
Coventry have never won at Villa Park - and you wonder if they ever will - in 18 League games during their 25 years in the First Division.
They weren't worrying about that last night. They were soundly beaten in a match they needed to win - yet still stayed up.
