MATCH QUOTES

"He [Alan McInally] had an immediate effect on the game. "He had been out for three weeks with a groin injury and I didn't want to give him the whole 90 minutes. "I decided beforehand to let him go on at half-time as he is always capable of changing things." Graham Taylor.

Sunday, 16 October 1988

ALAN McInally bustled Aston Villa to a valuable away point after they had looked set to suffer for two defensive blunders. The tell Scot scored one goal, made another and was also booked. Mclnally, fit again after injury, was booked after 53 minutes for dissent and then three minutes later scored his seventh goal of the season after his first effort had rebounded off the Charlton woodwork. Charlton had led at half time through Steve Gritt's 23rd minute goal after a mis-kicked clearance outside his area by goalkeeper Nigel Spink had put Villa in trouble. And Charlton went back in front after 61 minutes after another Villa Error. Central defender Martin Keown missed Paul Mortimer's through ball allowing Paul Williams to splendidly drive home from just inside the area. But Mclnally came to Villa's rescue again three minutes later forcing his way powerfully into the Charlton area before delivering a low far post cross which David Platt converted.
