ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 25 March 2000
Villa bounce back from a first defeat in 13 Premier League games under John Gregory to beat Derby after their surprise loss to Southampton last time out.
Benito Carbone scores his first goal in 5 games on his 22nd appearance in a Villa shirt (20 Starts) to make it W11 D7 L4, 8 Goals, 4 Assists, 5 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Paul Merson contributes his 20th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 63rd appearance (48 Starts) to make it W28 D15 L20, 9 Goals, 11 Assists and 4 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.15 games played so far in his Villa career.
Dion Dublin returns for the first time since breaking a vertebra against Sheffield Wednesday in December to make it W20 D10 L17, 23 Goals, 3 Assists and 5 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.81 games played so far in his Villa career.
Jlloyd Samuel makes his 1st start in a Villa shirt on his 4th appearance, 6 months after his debut, to make it W3 D0 L1 so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile off the pitch, the Chairman continues to refuse to commit to a 3 year deal for Benito Carbone, and the player erupts again.
Off the pitch, on the eve of the FA Cup semi final as the parsimonious Chairman proves he can undermine even the best of times.
