ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 21 February 1996
Villa win through to the League Cup final for the second time in three years as Arsenal fans - never known for under-reaction - disgrace themselves at Villa Park.
A goalless draw sees Villa qualify for their 7th League Cup final courtesy of the brace of away goals Dwight Yorke scored at Highbury a week earlier.
Steve Staunton makes his 175th start in a Villa shirt (180 Appearances) to make it W76 D48 L56, 15 Goals, 23 Assists and 10 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Gary Charles makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (48 Starts) to make it W26 D14 L10, 5 Assists and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
