ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 16 May 2009
Villa can only draw with a Middlesbrough side heading for relegation under Gareth Southgate and now boast a single win in the last fifteen in all competitions and lose fifth place to a workmanlike Everton side having been sitting pretty in third place with thirteen to play before Martin O'Neill's Moscow surrender.
Villa fall back to 6th in the table - their lowest position since October - after their 4th draw in 6 Premier League games under Martin O'Neill.
James Milner makes his 75th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W31 D21 L23, 9 Goals, 17 Assists and 11 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.92 games played so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile, Martin Laursen announces his retirement from football.
