On This Day
Villa make it 6 games unbeaten in the Premier League under Brian Little but draw for the 3rd successive match as they are held by Manchester United at Villa Park.
Michael Oakes keeps his 5th clean sheet in a Villa shirt on his 9th appearance to make it W4 D4 L1, 6 Goals Conceded at a rate of 0.67 goals per game and 5 Clean Sheets (56%) so far in his Villa career.
Saลกa ฤurฤiฤ collects his 3rd booking in a Villa shirt on his 5th appearance to make it W2 D3 L0, 0 Goals, 0 Assists and 3 Bookings at a rate of a card every 1.67 games so far in his Villa career.
Future Villa centre back Ronny Johnsen and future Villa assistant manager Roy Keane line up for Manchester United.
What they Said
"United could easily have lost to an Aston Villa side deploying the 3-5-2 system to great effect."
United could easily have lost to an Aston Villa side deploying the 3-5-2 system to great effect.
Sara Curcic drilled wide of each post after good work by Dwight Yorke.
The deadlock exploded in the 38th minute, when Beckham reacted angrily to Stauntonโs challenge from behind, swinging round and throwing a punch.
Beckham was lucky that referee Steve Lodge failed to produce the red card the offence merited.
It was Villa who were supercharged, pouring forward as Savo Milosevicโs shot on the run just wide and another header from the Serb. Fergusonโs heart must have been in his mouth when Yorke then found the United net 8 minutes later only for the effort to be ruled out by an errant offside flag.
