On This Day
Villa fail to score for the 3rd successive match and lose for the 3rd time in 4 Premier League games as they tumble in a tight table from 11th to 16th with their early 1995 form under Brian Little fast disappearing.
Left back Alan Wright, 23, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after moving from Blackburn Rovers earlier this month for a fee of ยฃ1,350,000 to become the 705th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Midfielder Ray Houghton, 33, makes his 121st and final appearance in a Villa shirt (105 Starts) before moving on to Crystal Palace later this month for a fee of ยฃ300,000. Houghton played for Villa between 1992-93 and 1994-95 and left with a record of W49 D35 L37, 11 Goals and 15 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.65 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Tommy Johnson makes his 10th start in a Villa shirt (12 Appearances) to make it W5 D2 L5, 11 Goals and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Dwight Yorke suffers his 50th defeat in a Villa shirt on his 146th appearance (107 Starts) to make it W59 D37 L50, 35 Goals, 19 Assists and 2 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.70 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Gary Charles makes his 10th appearance in a Villa shirt (8 Starts) to make it W4 D2 L4 and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.

What they Said
"West Ham boosted their survival hopes - and dragged Aston Villa back into the relegation mire - with a deserved victory at Villa Park."
West Ham boosted their survival hopes - and dragged Aston Villa back into the relegation mire - with a deserved victory at Villa Park.
John Moncur was the hammers hero netting the opening goal and setting up the second for Don Hutchinson but they were aided by a dreadful performance from Villa easily the most inept since manager Brian little took charge in late November.
They lacked ideas in midfield, created little upfront and the hammers always troubled a wobbly Villa defence on the break with Alan Wright having an easy debut at left back.
Villa have now picked up only two points out of 15 offering after appearing to be safe and they now find themselves uneasily perched in the pack just above the bottom four.
A mistake by Villa debutant Alan Wright let in Hutchinson and Bosnich was forced to beat away a fierce effort.
Villa created their only worthwhile opening of the first half in the 37th minute. Shaun Tealeโs centre was flicked on by Tommy Johnson and the onrushing Gary Charles had his shot blocked by Miklosko.
Ray Houghton replaced Johnson at half-time but within four minutes the hammers increased their lead.
