ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 2 March 2002
The fall out from Doug Ellis' appalling own goal continues to rage as despite a first win in five since John Gregory's departure the game is overshadowed by reports that Villa scorer and much loved Juan Pablo Ángel wants out after becoming disillusioned with the running of the club.
Villa win for the 1st time in 5 to hand new boss Graham Taylor his 1st Villa victory since 1990 with Juan Pablo Ángel and Darius Vassell once again doing the damage.
George Boateng secures his 50th win in a Villa shirt on his 123rd appearance (115 Starts) to make it W50 D38 L35, 5 Goals, 1 Assist and 27 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Juan Pablo Ángel contributes his 20th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 34th start (38 Appearances) to make it W15 D10 L13, 16 Goals, 4 Assists and 4 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.70 starts so far in his Villa career.
Thomas Hitzlsperger makes his 1st start in a Villa shirt (3 Appearances) to make it W1 D0 L1 so far in his Villa career.
