ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 4 February 1995
Villa lose their first Premier League game in 8 and 2nd in 12 to drop back to 14th place in the table under Brian Little.

In his sole season with Villa between Fashanu made 16 appearances and scored 3 goals adding a fresh, though unexpected dynamic to the team and left with a full record of W5 D6 L5 and a goal involvement rate of one for every 5.33 games he played across his half season with the club.
Dwight Yorke makes his 100th start in a Villa shirt (139 Appearances) to make it W57 D35 L47, 33 Goals, 17 Assists and 2 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.78 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Future Villa boss Steve Bruce and future Villa ‘keeper Peter Schmeichel line up for Manchester United.
