What they Said
"Villa skipper Kevin Richardson's proud ever-present record of 128 games ended because of an injury suffered at home."
Their 69th minute equaliser extended Wednesday's unbeaten run to 13 games and it could have been three points if midfielder Chris Bart-Williams had not squandered a golden opportunity to seal victory five minutes later when he shot wide from eight yards.
Bart-Williams gave Wednesday a 25th minute lead, but Villa levelled three minutes later through Neil Cox and Dean Saunders ended his eight-game scoring drought with a penalty to put the home side ahead in the 52nd minute after Dalian Atkinson was brought down.
Villa skipper Kevin Richardson's proud ever-present record of 128 games ended because of an injury suffered at home.
"We don't know how serious it is at this stage whether it's a torn muscle or a muscle spasm," said manager Ron Atkinson.
