Only five minutes earlier, teenager Darren Caskey had pulled them back into the match, pouncing on a Darren Anderton pass to drive in a shot which was deflected out of goalkeeper Mark Bosnich's reach by the outstretched boot of Villa defender Shaun Teale. Ray Houghton had given Villa. who included Paul McGrath. the lead 12 minutes into the second half after Tottenham's Vinny Samways lost possession and allowed Dalian Atkinson to set up the chance.
