ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 27 August 2000
Villa record a second successive Premier League draw to start the season unbeaten in two under John Gregory but sit in a lowly 16th place in the early table.
Luc Nilis scores one of the great Villa Park goals to open the scoring and make it 3 Appearances, W1 D1 L1 and 2 Goals so far in his impressive start to his Villa career.
Alan Wright contributes his 25th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 247th appearance (244 Starts) to make it W111 D62 L74, 4 Goals, 21 Assists and 14 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
George Boateng makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (47 Starts) to make it W22 D16 L12, 3 Goals and 12 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile, off the pitch all is not well with Gareth Southgate and Julian Joachim proving destabilising influences, demanding moves away from the club to destinations unknown.
