Villa recover from 1-3 down against Wycombe to score seven second half goals to reach the third round of the League Cup after another cup humiliation under David O'Leary looks on the cards.
At half time former Villa trainee Tommy Mooney puts League Two side Wycombe 3-1 up at half time, but Villa respond in style in the second 45โ.
Centre back Gary Cahill, 19, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after coming through the ranks and signing professional forms with the club in July 2004 to become the 786th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Although it only comes against a League Two side, Milan Baroลก, creates 2 and scores 1 to contribute his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on just his 4th appearance to make it W2 D1 L1, 2 Goals, 3 Assists and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Steven Davis contributes his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 36th appearance (26 Starts) to make it W11 D10 L15, 4 Goals, 1 Assist and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Lee Hendrie contributes his 31st assist in a Villa shirt on his 290th appearance (234 Starts) to make it W115 D73 L102, 31 Goals, 31 Assists, 58 Bookings and 4 Red Cards at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.75 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Liam Ridgewell makes his 25th start in a Villa shirt (37 Appearances) to make it W14 D8 L15, 1 Assist, 3 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile another takeover approach is received and another bout of diminishment is triggered from Herbert Douglas Ellis.

What they Said
โWe gave poor goals away and there were a few reminders at half-time, a few things to be said.
โIn the end we ran out worthy winners and scored from good chances - I was very proud of them in the second half.
โIt was very important that the second goal came early in the second half and it did.
โAt 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 didnโt get our act together.โ
David OโLeary.
"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 Barosโs 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.
