David Platt misses a second half penalty to allow Luton victory and inflict a second successive defeat on Villa as they drop to 16th in the first division table following their eleventh loss in thirty four games under Jozef Vengloš (thirteen wins).
Centre forward Gary Penrice, 26, makes his debut appearance in a Villa shirt joining moving from Watford for a fee of £1,000,000 the previous day to become the 669th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Midfielder Stuart Gray, 20, makes his final appearance for Villa before moving on to Southampton in September 1991 for £200,000, having paid Barnsley £175,000 4 years earlier. Gray played for Villa between 1987-88 and 1990-91 and proved a key player during the Graham Taylor era, making 133 appearances and scoring 15 goals.
