ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 16 December 2000
Villa draw for the fourth game in a row under John Gregory as the greed and disloyalty of senior internationals in the dressing room is laid bare by a manager not given to excusing his players' poor judgement.
Lee Hendrie is sent off for the second time this season as the David Ginola melodrama continues, on the pitch however three assists in three games shows the veteran still can produce if he puts his mind to it.
David Ginola scores his 1st goal in a Villa shirt on his 11th appearance (7 Starts) to make it W4 D5 L2, 1 Goal, 3 Assists and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Lee Hendrie collects his 3rd red card in a Villa shirt on his 127th appearance (90 Starts) to make it W54 D33 L40, 12 Goal, 11 Assists, 25 Bookings and 3 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
