ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 12 March 2008
Villa are held for the second successive game as they struggle at home to Boro but extend their run to one defeat in fourteen Premier League games under Martin O'Neill.
Villa remain sixth in the table with 9 to play but can only draw with lowly Middlesbrough as the season seems to be taking its toll on some of the players,
Olof Mellberg comes on as a substitute for the first time in a Villa shirt on his 255th appearance to make it W87 D76 L92, 8 Goals, 6 Assists and 31 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
