ON THIS DAY
Tuesday, 29 December 2009
Villa lose a second consecutive League game for the first time this season as for the second successive game the scoreline is highly flattering to the opposition.
Lucky lucky Liverpool strike again and score an utterly undeserved 93rd minute winner. The result left Villa ending the year with two defeats despite an otherwise excellent opening four months with a League Cup Final and Champions League Qualification to potentially look forward to in 2010.
James Milner makes his 100th appearance in a Villa shirt to make it W45 D27 L28, 15 Goals, 26 Assists and 14 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one every 2.44 games played so far in his Villa career.
3 months after his 4th appearance and 10 months after his first in Moscow, Marc Albrighton makes his 5th appearance in a Villa shirt (1 Start) to make it W2 D0 L3 and 1 Booking so far in his Villa career.
