ON THIS DAY
Sunday, 2 September 2007
Villa make it successive Premier League victories as they see off Chelsea at Villa Park in an impressive performance.
Villa were now unbeaten in four since their unlucky opening day loss to Liverpool and in doing so dispatch Chelsea with aplomb.
Centre back Zat Knight, 27, makes a goalscoring debut after joining from Fulham for a fee of £4,230,000 in August to become the 803rd player to play for Villa in first team League or Cup football.
Wilfred Bouma makes his 50th start in a Villa shirt (53 Appearances) to make it W17 D17 L19, 1 Assist and 4 Bookings so far in his Villa career.
Meanwhile off the pitch, Zat Knight is arrested during a drug raid on his family home.
