ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 17 November 2001
  • Villa are held by Boro to make it just two defeats in twelve Premier League games under John Gregory but winless in the last two as Gareth Southgate once again demonstrates his lack of class.

  • Juan Pablo Ángel makes his 20th start in a Villa shirt (24 Appearances) to make it W11 D5 L8, 9 Goals, 3 Assists and 2 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.67 starts so far in his Villa career. 

  • From the sublime to the ridiculous, Gareth Southgate and Ugo Ehiogu return to Villa together for the first time since their moves away to "win trophies" at 13th placed Middlesbrough who narrowly avoided relegation in 2000-01. They paid well though.

*BBC Sport*
Saturday, 17 November, 2001
*Boro hold toothless Villa* Aston Villa missed the chance to go top of the Premiership with a wasteful performance at Villa Park. John Gregory’s side dominated but lacked the finishing touch to seal a fifth home league win in a row. Boro defenders Gareth Southgate and Ugo Ehiogu will have been relieved to come away with a clean sheet on their return to Villa Park. The visitors were often overwhelmed by the home side, for whom Lee Hendrie was outstanding. The young midfielder’s tireless work-rate was complemented by several creative touches. After 11 minutes he created Villa’s first good chance of the afternoon. He slotted a delightful through-ball to Juan Pablo Angel, who thumped the ball first time from 12 yards, but saw his effort come back off the crossbar. Minutes later Angel shot powerfully from 25 yards with his left foot and Mark Crossley had to be alert to save. Villa suffered a set-back when Mark Delaney was stretchered off with a suspected knee injury after 16 minutes. Ian Taylor came on at right-back, and Villa’s shape was disrupted as a result of Taylor playing in an unfamiliar role. But they still dominated their lacklustre opponents, and Boro boss Steve McClaren was incensed by the ineptitude of his side. *Hadji chance* But Boro almost stole the lead near the end of the half. Carlos Marinelli swung in a corner from the left and Franck Queudreue hit the crossbar with a powerful far-post header. Middlesbrough were forced to make a half-time substitution, with the experienced Colin Cooper replacing the injured Queuedrue in defence. Villa were on the offensive again after the interval. Stone cut in from the left and struck a curling shot that Crossley saved, and Angel was then went desperately close with a shot on the turn. Villa had another golden chance after 56 minutes when Angel turned a cross from Stone back into the path of Kachloul. But the Moroccan could not keep his shot down after twisting in the penalty area and it flew over the crossbar.
