ON THIS DAY

Tuesday, 22 February 1994

  • Forward Graham Fenton, 19, makes his debut in a Villa shirt after joining as a trainee and signing professional forms in August 1993 to become the 695th player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.

  • Dwight Yorke is now goalless in 10 Premier League games - his worst ever League goalscoring return - following a 9 game spell (2 Starts) at the start of his career. Yorke’s record is now 104 Appearances, 74 Starts, W46 D27 L31, 27 Goals, 13 Assists and 1 Booking at a goal per game rate of one for every 3.85 games he has played so far in his Villa career.

  • Dean Saunders is a substitute for the first time on his 83rd appearance in a Villa shirt (82 Starts).

  • Earl Barrett makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W48 D28 L24, 2 Goals and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.

  • Former Villa midfielder Steve McMahon proves the villain as his underhand tactics cost Villa victory from the penalty spot.

MATCH QUOTES

"We played some quality football despite the poor conditions and deserved to win. "McMahon's delaying tactics when Dean Saunders was preparing to take his penalty were a touch of gamesmanship, but I also thought that Deano lost his footing as he ran up to strike the ball." Ron Atkinson.

*Birmingham Evening Mail*
Wednesday, 23 February 1994

DEAN SAUNDERS missed the penalty last night that finally gave Brian Horton a break. The Manchester City manager, who is fighting to save his job, was handed a lifeline by the Aston Villa striker with just nine minutes of last night's snow fight. Horton could only watch helplessly as City's defiant rearguard action looked like caving in when Richard Edghill hauled back the Welsh hitman just inside the box. But Saunders, who had only replaced Guy Whittingham nine minutes earlier, moved forward to smash the ball at least a yard wide of Tony Coton's right-hand post to allow Manchester City to escape with a precious point. The crisis-hit Maine Road side now creep out of the bottom three and above Oldham on goal difference, so that dreadful clanger from Saunders could yet prove to be the turning point as City scramble to fight their way out of the Premiership's desperation alley. City even survived the second half loss of Terry Phelan, who limped off with what looked like a pulled hamstring, but happy Horton revealed later Terry's injury is nothing like serious as we first thought. Saunders' miss may also have been the result of a little gamesmanship from Steve McMahon, who wandered into the box then out again as the Villa striker prepared to shoot. Villa manager Ron Atkinson said: "We played some quality football despite the poor conditions and deserved to win. "McMahon's delaying tactics when Dean Saunders was preparing to take his penalty were a touch of gamesmanship, but I also thought that Deano lost his footing as he ran up to strike the ball."
