Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa's away goal counts for nothing as they are beaten by a solitary goal in the second leg of the Second Round of the UEFA Cup tie with Deportivo La Coruรฑa to leave them out of Europe well ahead of schedule.

  • Gordon Cowans makes his 525th appearance in a Villa shirt (503 Starts) to make it W231 D130 L164, 59 Goals and 95 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.41 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

  • Tony Daley suffers his 100th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 266th appearance (223 Starts) to make it W98 D68 L100, 37 Goals and 27 Assists so far in his Villa career.

What they Said

"Villa can have few complaints after being swamped by the visitors throughout as they inexplicably failed to rise to the occasion."

VILLAโ€™S UEFA Cup hopes were left tatters by slick Spaniards Deportivo La Coruna at Villa Park last night.

Striker Javier Manjarin settled the issue with a 36th-minute strike.

And Villa can have few complaints after being swamped by the visitors throughout as they inexplicably failed to rise to the occasion.

Manjarin headed home after a flowing move had ripped Villaโ€™s defence wide open.

Gordon Cowans, recalled after being rested for two games, was caught in possession in his own half and the Spaniards countered quickly and clinically.

The ball flashed from Bebeto to Fran and then out wide to overlapping full back Nando, whose deep cross to the far post was headed down by MANJARIN and only helped into the roof of the net by Villa defender Paul McGrath.

Bebeto could have added to Deportivoโ€™s advantage three minutes later but skied over from eight yards.
