ON THIS DAY
Monday, 14 February 2000
Villa score four in consecutive League games to extend their unbeaten run to 9 under John Gregory as they climb to 7th.
Goalkeeper Neil Cutler, 23, makes his sole appearance in a Villa shirt as a substitute for the injured David James. Cutler joined from Chester City in November 1999 and moved on to Stoke City in July 2001 without added to his appearances. Cutler would return to the club to become a key figure in Villa’s backroom staff in the 2020’s under Dean Smith.
After contributing 1 goal in his first 13 appearances, Benito Carbone has now scored 5 in his last 3 games to make it 16 Appearances, 14 Starts, W8 D5 L3, 6 Goals, 3 Assists and 3 Bookings so far in a Villa career that finally seems to be taking off.
Paul Merson secures his 25th win in a Villa shirt on his 56th appearance (41 Starts) to make it W25 D12 L19, 8 Goals, 7 Assists and 4 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.73 games played so far in his Villa career.
Mark Delaney secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 25th appearance (18 Starts) to make it W10 D5 L10, 1 Goal, 1 Assist and 3 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
