ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 23 December 2000
Villa win for the first time in six after four consecutive draws as they beat Leeds to move back up to 7th in the Premier League under John Gregory.
In a season where late goals have proved a prominent feature in Villa's games, another last minute goal, itself following an 88' winner, is not enough to stop Villa recording their first win in 6.
Darius Vassell secures his 20th win in a Villa shirt on his 39th appearance (37 Starts) but is now without a goal in 36 appearances to make it W20 D5 L14, 2 Goals, 4 Assists and 4 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 6.50 games played so far in his Villa career.
