ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 17 April 1996
Paul McGrath hits a stunning volley to put Villa ahead but the game is overshadowed by a horrific ankle injury suffered by Gary Charles in the first half of the game and an extended spell on the sidelines missing the entire 1996-97 season.
Charles had scored his first goal for the club just 2 games earlier having contributed 8 assists in his 63 appearances in a Villa shirt to date.
Paul McGrath scores his 10th goal in a Villa shirt on his 322nd appearance (315 Starts) to make it W138 D84 L100, 10 Goals, 9 Assists and 17 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Having not scored in his previous 12 Premier League games, and then hit 5 in 9, Tommy Johnson has now gone 8 games without a League goal to make it 45 appearances in a Villa shirt (34 Starts) W20 D10 L15, 12 Goals, 2 Assists and 7 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.21 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
