On This Day
Wednesday, 30 November 1994
Holders Villa suffer the embarrassment of defeat to Palace in the League Cup despite Dalian Atkinsonโs 5th goal in 6 games.
Midfielder Dave Farrell, 23, is handed a rare start by new boss Brian Little in what proves to be his 8th and final appearance in a Villa shirt before moving on to Division Two Wycombe Wanderers in September 1995 for a fee of ยฃ100,000, leaving with a record of W3 D1 L4, 0 Goals and 0 Assists.
Ugo Ehiogu is sent off for the first time in a Villa shirt on his 57th appearance (44 Starts) to make it W23 D11 L23, 2 Goals, 1 Assist, 6 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Villa have now conceded 14 in their last 5 games as Mark Bosnich makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W31 D19 L25, 81 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.07 goals per game and 25 Clean Sheets (33%) so far in his Villa career.
In the latest example of poor business acumen and short sighted decision making, Villa are taken to the High Court after former club Leicester seek an injunction to stop Brain Little from working for the club. The real issue is money, more to the point the failure of the parsimonious Chairman to compensate the Foxes for Littleโs move. Rather than do the decent thing Villa are forced to plead with Mr Justice Smith in the High Court doing no-one any favours.
Future Villa centre back Gareth Southgate, currently known as a midfielder, scores twice for Palace.

What they Said
"Little's men survived the 25th minute sending off of England Under-21 defender Ugo Ehiogu to take the lead with Dalian Atkinson's fifth goal in six games.
"But two goals apiece from Southgate and Palace captain Armstrong crowned a superb second-half comeback and condemned Villa to their heaviest defeat of the season."
Belittled Villa court disaster
TROUBLED Aston Villa won their battle in the High Court yesterday, but suffered their biggest humiliation of the season where it really counts.
The Villa lawyers convinced Mr Justice Smith not to stop new manager Brain Little from working for the club.
Little's former club Leicester had sought an injunction, but Villa emerged victorious after a a 60-minute hearing behind closed doors.
But after a 90-minute cross-examination last night, the Villa Park bosses must have been wondering if it was all worthwhile.
The Coca-Cola Cup, won at the expense of Manchester United last season, was ripped from their grasp by double salvoes from Gareth Southgate and Chris Armstrong.
Little's men survived the 25th minute sending off of England Under-21 defender Ugo Ehiogu to take the lead with Dalian Atkinson's fifth goal in six games.
But two goals apiece from Southgate and Palace captain Armstrong crowned a superb second-half comeback and condemned Villa to their heaviest defeat of the season.
It was a night of mixed fortune of Republic of Ireland defender Paul McGrath who cleared a thundering 30-yard drive from Dean Gordon off the line in the fourth minute, but was at fault for the final goal when Armstrong took the ball off his toes before scoring.
