On This Day
Villa are held by Blackburn at Ewood Park to leave them with one defeat and three wins in their first five Premier League games of the season under Brian Little.
Savo Miloลกeviฤ scores his first goal in a Villa shirt on his 5th appearance to make it W3 D1 L1, 1 Goal, 2 Assists and 1 Bookings so far at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.67 games he has played so far in his early Villa career.
Future Villa boss Tim Sherwood lines up for Blackburn.
What they Said
"Alan Shearer stopped the Blackburn rot with a goal to salvage a vital point with a magnificent opportunist volley in the 52nd minute."
Alan Shearer stopped the Blackburn rot with a goal to salvage a vital point with a magnificent opportunist volley in the 52nd minute.
Without it, Ray Harford would've been in trouble: few Champions lose more than five games in a season but Rovers were facing a fourth defeat in five games.
A superb strike from Villaโs Savo Miloลกeviฤ threatened to stretch Rovers losing run and his first goal for his new club was worth waiting for: Henning Berg blocked of Dwight Yorke's run and the ball spun to Miloลกeviฤ who struck a left foot curler with pace and accuracy from 20 yards.
If Miloลกeviฤ had taken two other good chances, Blackburn would now already be preparing to remove the title trophy from their cabinet.
