ON THIS DAY
Lucky, lucky Liverpool, just as Villa have an annual defeat to Manchester United in the FA Cup so they have a day dedicated to late Liverpool goals. And so it proved again. Meanwhile, midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker made his Villa debut aged 23 after joining from West Ham United for a fee of £11,250,000 in July 2007.
