Opens in New Window

*The Sunday Tribune*
Sunday, 17 September 1995
Aston Villa are developing the look of serious championship contenders but the efficient way in which Joe Kinnear’s early season bubble was burst -only Manchester United had previously beating his Dons - confirmed the Midlanders transformation from relegation fodder to title potential. Brian Little’s £3.25 million investment in his Leicester midfield general, the second time he's bought him has been instrumental; Draper’s strength and vision complimented by Andy Townsend’s commitment gives Villa a solid heart. The 24-year-old can also finish too, and he launched his new club towards the fourth victory in six with his second goal of the season in the seventh minute. Goalkeeper Mark Bosnich launched the ball onto the halfway line, Alan Wright hoisted it onto the edge of the penalty area and Dwight Yorke’s flick gave Draper a clear run in to score right-footed from close range. A well worked second goal in the 47th minute put paid to Wimbledon’s threatened revival. Milošević played in Gary Charles on the right and his low cross was cleverly heeled on by Yorke into the path of Ian Taylor who could not mess with his left foot from 10 yards. Not even the Villa Park downpour could dampen Villa’s spirits as they continue their best start for 15 years.
