"It was a satisfying display. “We showed our character and commitment to beat a good team. “It was a very good performance and scored three cracking goals. “They were all good goals although I wasn’t too happy with the one we conceded.

CYRILLE Regis and Dwight Yorke scored cracking Villa goals. Then Tony Daley beat them both with a superb volley from 20 yards. David White raised City hopes with a 65th minute header but they were soon swept away again. Ron Atkinson, Villa boss, said: "It was a satisfying display. We showed our character and commitment to beat a good team." Daley struck Villa's third goal after 70 minutes. Playing as a striker in the absence of the injured Dalian Atkinson, Daley lashed in a left foot volley from just inside the penalty area. Villa took charge after Cyrille Regis had headed in a cross from Steve Staunton after 26 minutes. Winger Dwight Yorke added their second five minutes before half-time, heading in his sixth goal in seven games.
