ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 27 January 2004
Despite going a goal up early on with all the signs that Villa would secure a famous comeback, Gavin McCann's first half sending off, and an inability to score a second until the dying stages meant a brave Villa performance ended in a victory although not enough to earn another League Cup final appearance.
Gavin McCann is sent off for the 2nd time in a Villa shirt on his 26th appearance to make it W12 D6 L8, 2 Goals, 2 Assists, 7 Bookings and 2 Red Cards at a rate of a card every 2.77 games so far in his Villa career.
Thomas Hitzlsperger contributes his 15th goal involvement and secures his 25th win in a Villa shirt on his 68th appearance (49 Starts) to make it W25 D14 L29, 7 Goals, 8 Assists and 7 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Jlloyd Samuel contributes his 10th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 117th appearance (97 Starts) to make it W41 D30 L46, 2 Goals, 8 Assists, 12 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Mark Delaney makes his 125th start in a Villa shirt (141 Appearances) to make it W53 D41 L47, 1 Goal, 4 Assists, 19 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
