ON THIS DAY
Villa finished second in the inaugural Premier League and had proved a superb, exciting footballing side that dominated the goal of the month and goal of the season segments.
Sadly Villa couldn’t quite keep up the momentum to take the title ahead of eventual winners Manchester United.
The run of 3 defeats to the end of the season flattered the Champions by giving the title race the look of a foregone conclusion as they finished 10 points clear.
The reality however was very different.
It remains a moot point as to how the final table would have looked if the ‘generous’ refereeing at Old Trafford on 10th April 1993 hadn’t gifted Manchester United a win.
Given the immediate results Villa produced thereafter it is not beyond credibility that Villa’s form would have continued through the final 3 games to win the title most observers felt Villa’s play deserved.
As it was however, Manchester United won their first title in decades.
