On This Day

  • Villa remain undefeated under Martin O'Neill as they beat Scunthorpe in the League Cup 2nd Round.

  • Villa avoid the O'Leary trap of lower league humiliation in the Cup with plenty to spare as Martin O'Neill had now opened the season 6 unbeaten.

  • Meanwhile Randy Lerner officially takes over Villa after reaching the requisite threshold to take the club into his hands.

  • Milan Baroš secures his 10th win in a Villa shirt on his 33rd appearance (29 Starts) but it only comes against League One Scunthorpe, and Baroš, relegated to the subs bench for the 3rd consecutive game, yet to start under new boss Martin O’Neill and without a goal in 6, and no assist in 20 looks a far cry from the player who had started his Villa career with such a bang. Baroš makes it W10 D12 L11, 12 Goals, 6 Assists and 6 Bookings at a goal involvement rate of one for every 2.06 games he has played so far in his Villa career. His first 20 starts had brought 15 goal involvements at a rate of 1.40 per game.

  • Gavin McCann secures his 40th win in a Villa shirt on his 102nd appearance to make it W40 D31 L31, 4 Goals, 3 Assists, 21 Bookings and 2 Red Cards so far in his Villa career.
