What they Said

Brighton & Hove Albion.png

โ€œWe gave poor goals away and there were a few reminders at half-time, a few things to be said.

โ€œIn the end we ran out worthy winners and scored from good chances - I was very proud of them in the second half.

โ€œIt was very important that the second goal came early in the second half and it did.

โ€œAt half time it looked as though Wycombe were on the verge of a great victory without a doubt. We were on the verge of a cup shock if we didnโ€™t get our act together.โ€

David Oโ€™Leary.



"The board has received a preliminary approach which could lead to an offer for the company. Shareholders will be updated of any further developments."

Club Statement.


"Inaccurate and unfounded."

Also a Club Statement.

Aston Villa scored seven second-half goals after trailing 3-1 at half-time.

Nathan Tyson, Roger Johnson and Tommy Mooney all scored headers for Wycombe, while a Steve Davis strike for Villa had at one point made the score 1-1.

Milan Barosโ€™s cool finish sparked the visitorsโ€™ comeback, with a James Milner shot making it 3-3, while an own goal from Craig Easton put Villa ahead.

Gareth Barry then scored twice, his first with a penalty, with Milner and Davis also completing braces.
