On This Day
Tuesday, 25 October 2005
Villa take welcome respite from their League difficulties under David O'Leary as they record a narrow win against Championship side Burnley and avoid the humiliation they had suffered under the same opposition last season.
Kevin Phillips contributes his 5th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 7th appearance as his strong start continues with a record of W3 D2 L2, 3 Goal and 2 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.40 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
James Milner contributes his first assist in a Villa shirt on his 8th appearance to make it W3 D1 L4, 3 Goals and 1 Assist at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.00 games played so far in his Villa career.

What they Said
โHe is a goalscorer. That is why we brought him here. Itโs great to have someone like him in the team.
โHe won us the game at St Andrews and heโs done the same in the Carling Cup and that can make all the difference.
โIt illustrates why strikers are so important. Nine times out of 10 he will score in that situation.โ
Roy Aitken.
Aston Villa dumped Burnley out of the Carling Cup with a 1-0 victory in a lacklustre third-round encounter.
The match was a repeat of last yearโs fixture - which Burnley won - but there was to be no upset this time.
Kevin Phillips scored Villaโs only goal when he exchanged passes with James Milner to slot the ball past Brian Jensen in the 22nd minute.
Ade Akinbiyi almost equalised after the break but Thomas Sorenson saved his overhead kick to send Villa through.
David OโLearyโs side struggled to break down a defensive Burnley side in the opening exchanges at a Villa Park packed with Claretsโ fans.
Gareth Barry found the recalled Juan Pablo Angel in a promising position only for the Colombian to be crowded out by two defenders.
Phillips eventually broke the deadlock after 22 minutes as he picked up Milnerโs pass and struck the ball neatly home.
Steve Cotterillโs Burnley side, operating with Ade Akinbiyi as a lone striker, lacked adventure going forward.
Akinbiyi did go close for the Clarets but the Championship side went into half-time trailing.
Angel had a chance to extend Villaโs lead immediately after the break but his effort skimmed the roof of the net.
Akinbiyi battled away for Burnley but when he found some space he ballooned his shot high and wide.
At the other end, Barry came close to wrapping up the game for Villa when he collected a deep Delaney cross and squeezed his low left-footed shot just wide.
It did not matter as Villa did enough to ease the pressure on OโLeary and ensure they were in the fourth-round draw.
