ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 6 April 2002
Villa's terrible run since the departure of John Gregory continues as they lose for the fourth time in six games under Graham Taylor to leave them with one win in eleven Premier League games as they slump to 10th in the table.
Villa make it 5 defeats in 9 games under Graham Taylor.
Former Villa malcontents Benito Carbone and Ugo Ehiogu both score for the second time this season against their old club.
For Carbone it's his second goal against Villa and second win against his old side playing for two different sides this season.
Goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel, 38, makes his 36th and final appearance in a Villa shirt before joining Manchester City on a free transfer in July 2002. Schmeichel became the first goalkeeper to score for the club but his performances between the posts were a far cry from the days when he was considered the World’s best. Conceding 3 goals on 7 occasions and having an acrimonious relationship with Graham Taylor meant Villa saw a shadow of the player he once was and he left with a record of W14 D9 L13, 1 Goal, 45 Goals Conceded at a rate of 1.25 goals per game and 10 Clean Sheets (28%).
Steve Staunton makes his 300th start in a Villa shirt (312 Appearances) to make it W129 D84 L99, 19 Goals, 35 Assists, 17 Bookings and 1 Red Card so far in his Villa career.
Peter Crouch contributes his 1st assist in a Villa shirt on his 3rd appearance to make it W0 D1 L2, 1 Goals and 1 Assist at a goal involvement rate of one for every 1.50 games played so far in his Villa career.
