ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 24 August 1991
Villa survive an equaliser on the stroke of half time and the loss of Steve Staunton at the interval to hit back and beat the reigning Champions for their second win of the first division season as Tony Daley hits a 30 yard right foot shot that rockets into the net and Gary Penrice scores his first for the club.
Villa bounce back from defeat to Manchester United to win for the second time in three games under Ron Atkinson.
18 year old centre back Ugo Ehiogu makes his debut in a Villa shirt after moving joining from West Bromwich Albion in July 1991 for a fee of £40,000 to become the 676th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Dwight Yorke makes his 25th appearance in a Villa shirt (12 Starts) to make it W7 D7 L11, 2 Goals, and 3 Assist at a goal involvement rate of one for every 5.00 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Centre forward Gary Penrice scores his first goal for Villa on his 15th appearance after his £1 million move in 1991 (11 Starts) to make it W5 D3 L7, 1 Goal and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.
