*Sunday Life*
Sunday, 31 October 1993

AN amazing miss from Swindon’s Norwegian international striker Jan Aage Fjortoft just two minutes from time at the County Ground summed up a miserable afternoon for the Premiership's bottom side. Fjortoft was only a yard out from the Villa goal with his side trailing 2-1 when he disastrously mis-kicked across goal and Villa cleared. Swindon had taken a 33rd minute lead through Paul Bodin's penalty after Ehiogu pushed Andy Mutch in the box. Two minutes before the break Villa hit back as Garry Parker's cross from the left was flicked on and Teale volleyed home at the far post. The winner came in the 68th minute when Dalian Atkinson claimed his seventh goal of the season from 12 yards.
