ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 14 April 1990
Villa make it nineteen first division victories in twenty seven games as they remain second and close the gap to leaders Liverpool to five points whilst opening up a ten point gap ahead of third placed Arsenal.
Villa win consecutive games as Liverpool lose but the leaders still have a game in hand with four to play.
Villa's achievements however are once again pilloried by the spiteful coverage in the Birmingham Evening Mail as they offer grudging support solely "for reasons of local patriotism."
Gordon Cowans makes his 425th start in a Villa shirt (442 Starts) to make it W203 D102 L137, 57 Goals and 77 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.30 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
