ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 28 December 2005
Villa make it seven goals in two games - more than they had managed in their previous six - but are held at Craven Cottage to leave them with just five wins in nineteen Premier League games under David O'Leary.
Villa's youthful side put in a battling display once again, coming back from a goal deficit on three occasions to earn a draw and make it one defeat in the last seven games for struggling David O'Leary.
On the flipside Villa have just five wins in the last 24 games but are showing a mettle and application previously unseen this season under O'Leary.
The Villa boss is never too far away from undermining good work elsewhere with rash comments off the pitch and so it is probably helpful that he swerves the post match interviews once again.
Villa's recent form had lifted them to 13th in the table - their best position since September - seven points clear of the relegation places.
James Milner contributes his 5th assist in a Villa shirt on his 17th appearance to make it W6 D3 L8, 3 Goals and 5 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.12 games played so far in his Villa career.
