ON THIS DAY
Villa record only their second win fourteen Premier League matches to move up two places in the table to 14th. The game is notable however for the bizarre and faintly embarrassing post match celebration from manager David O'Leary. Cynics suggesting that his crossing the pitch acknowledgement of Chairman Doug Ellis simply showed how entrenched they had made their positions together regardless of the perilous place the club had been taken into under their watch.
