MATCH QUOTES

"While Brian Little's side had controlled a poor first period, they were forced on to the back foot after the break as the 7,000 or so Wolves fans saw their side make a nonsense of the 35 League places between the clubs."

*The Irish Independent”
Thursday, 11 January 1996

Johnson the hero as Villa ride their luck TOMMY JOHNSON claimed his fourth goal in five games to propel Aston Villa into the Coca-Cola Cup semi-finals at the expense of neighbouring Wolves at Villa Park last night. While Brian Little's side had controlled a poor first period, they were forced on to the back foot after the break as the 7,000 or so Wolves fans saw their side make a nonsense of the 35 League places between the clubs. But although Alan Wright twice cleared off the line and Don Goodman thundered an effort against the post, the Premiership's meanest defence would not be breached. And Johnson capitalised on Villa's good fortune with a 66th minute winner. Dwight Yorke released Gary Charles and his cross was poked home by £2m man Johnson.
