ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 December 2007
Villa are held at home by Manchester City to extend their winless run to four Premier League games, drawing two but it should have been victory after Gabriel Agbonlahor's strike is deemed not to have crossed the line despite the foot of the clearing player being well inside the net.
Villa draw a second successive game to make it four games without a win as they remain 8th in the table under Martin O'Neill.
Stiliyan Petrov makes his 50th appearance in a Villa shirt (44 Starts) to make it W17 D18 L15, 2 Goals, 1 Assist and 5 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
John Carew contributes his 10th goal involvement in a Villa shirt on his 24th appearance to make it W9 D8 L7, 7 Goals and 3 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.40 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
