ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 8 May 1991
Villa win for the first time in 9 and make it 16 wins and 16 defeats time in 45 games under a Jozef Vengloš now openly exasperated with his treatment by the local press.
Second half substitute Dwight Yorke heads the winner that confirms Villa's top flight safety.
Dwight Yorke contributes his 5th goal involvement and his 4th in his last 7 games in a Villa shirt on his 21st appearance (9 Starts) to make it W5 D6 L10, 2 Goals and 3 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 4.20 he has played so far in his Villa career.
