ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 16 April 2005
Villa recover from a poor first half to beat Southampton and make it four wins in seven and six wins in nineteen Premier League games under David O'Leary to climb to 9th in the table - their highest position since New Years' Day.
Villa go 3 games unbeaten for the first time November despite former Villain Peter Crouch putting relegation threatened Southampton two up in the first half.
A strong result, and improved performance, are tainted somewhat by more David O'Leary post match barbs towards his players.
Steven Davis scores his 1st goal in a Villa shirt on his 24th appearance (14 Starts) to make it W9 D5 L10, 1 Goal and 2 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Ulises de la Cruz contributes his 10th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 87th appearance (66 Starts) to make it W34 D21 L32, 2 Goals, 8 Assists and 6 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Carlton Cole secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 27th appearance (19 Starts) to make it W10 D8 L9, 3 Goals, 4 Assists and 1 Booking at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.86 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Darius Vassell secures his 75th win in a Villa shirt on his 196th appearance (120 Starts) to make it W75 D50 L71, 45 Goals, 14 Assists, 15 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.31 games played so far in his Villa career.
Darius Vassell records his 50th draw in a Villa shirt on his 196th appearance (119 Starts) to make it W75 D50 L71, 45 Goals, 14 Assists, 15 Bookings and 1 Red Card at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.32 games played so far in his Villa career.
