ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 14 April 2001

  • Villa make it 4 wins in 7 unbeaten games under John Gregory to consolidate 8th position in the table with five games to play.

  • Juan Pablo Ángel having been played just once in the previous 6 games by John Gregory is now relegated to the subs bench for the first time in a Villa shirt to leave him with a record of W2 D2 L4 and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career. 

  • Villa are really not covering themselves in glory with their treatment of record signing Ángel, who although still awaiting his first goal in claret and blue, has had to contend with significant off-field issues since his arrival. As was seen with Stan Collymore under Gregory, empathy is not the manager’s strongest gift.

  • David Ginola contributes his 5th assist in a Villa shirt on his 23rd appearance (14 Starts) to make it W8 D8 L7, 2 Goals, 5 Assists and 9 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.28 games played so far in his Villa career.

🟩 14 April 2001, Villa 2-1 Everton, Villa Park.

MATCH QUOTES

“We’ve only lost the same amount of games as [4th placed] Leeds, but our problem has been winning and we have started to put that right. "We're now one point behind Sunderland, who at one stage looked uncatchable. "There's still a lot of points to play for, so anything can happen." John Gregory. "Once the transfer deadline passed, all thoughts of a move went out of my mind and I just continued to concentrate on doing well for Villa. "I want the club to finish in as high a position as possible and qualify for Europe. Then I will go away on my summer holidays and think things over." Gareth 'Loyalty' Southgate.

MATCH REPORTS

Opens in New Window

*The Guardian*
Sunday, 15 April, 2001

*Taylor heads for victory* David Ginola’s 20-minute cameo appearance lifted an end-of-season encounter seemingly destined for anonymity and earned Villa a victory that was looking beyond them. Despite enjoying an embarrassing advantage in the possession department, it was only when the Frenchman appeared as a substitute that Villa truly looked like converting that into goals. The decisive moment came in the 81st minute, when Ginola checked back on Steve Watson, used a body feint to put Scot Gemmill out of the equation and crossed with his right foot for Ian Taylor to head home the winner from six yards. That was just one of a number of memorable contributions from Ginola in his abbreviated stint. Has a Premiership footballer in recent memory made the comparatively difficult look so easy? There was little early evidence that Everton were capable of extracting anything from the game, especially as it took 16 minutes for them even to have the ball in the home area, via a run and cross from former Villa defender Steve Watson. It was another ex-Villa player who scored a spectacular, if unexpected, Everton equaliser. David Unsworth’s Villa ‘career’ amounted to one reserve game and less than a month in the summer of 1998 as he briefly docked in the Midlands en route to a return to his first club, Everton, from West Ham. Citing homesickness for his bizarre choice of career path, Unsworth received a predictably hostile reception from the Villa fans yesterday, even more so when his 21st-minute volley flew past David James. The goal took the wind out of a lively Villa opening that produced a goal for Dion Dublin after 72 seconds. With the balance restored by Unsworth’s equaliser, however, Everton played with more poise and confidence even though the better chances still came the home team’s way. Lee Hendrie’s glancing header from Wright’s free-kick flew over and Mark Pembridge’s 25-yard volley bounced kindly into the arms of James before the interval. Shortly after, Merson’s audacious 30-yard volley found Paul Gerrard out of his goal but cleared the bar before wing-back Wright set about a one-man onslaught on the Everton goal. First, Gerrard had to stretch to cover his 53rd-minute strike from just outside the box, two minutes later his spectacular 30-yard volley struck the right-hand upright with the keeper beaten, then Wright’s free-kick found Dion Dublin whose far-post header was touched over by the suddenly busy Gerrard.
