ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 22 February 1995
Villa look on course for another crushing Villa Park victory as they lead lowly Leicester 4-1 but the Mark Draper inspired foxes fight back to draw 4-4 and make it seven wins and four draws in twelve Premier League games under Brian Little.
Another high-scoring game at Villa Park following the annihilation of Wimbledon last time out and another 8 goals scored yet the points are shared as Villa let a 4-1 lead slip.
A cruising Villa side throw away a three goal lead and allow Leicester to equalise in the final minute, happily the key player in the Leicester side, midfielder Mark Draper, would, by the start of the following season, be lining up in a Villa shirt.
Winger Franz Carr, 28, makes his Villa debut as an 88’ substitute after joining from Leicester City earlier this month for a fee of £250,000.
Former Villa ‘keeper Kevin Poole and midfielder Garry Parker line up for Leicester as future Villa defender Simon Grayson also featured.
