00:00the long-suffering supporters of Manchester City travel hopefully once
00:05more conscious no doubt that it's 20 years since they've arrived anywhere
00:10meaningful City the winners of the League Cup in 1976
00:16the thought of Giorgio Quinclazzi for one playing outside the premiership doesn't
00:22bear thinking about but other clubs in the mire will be praying similarly for
00:27their favorites this is the Aston Villa side from whom City need at least a
00:33point no Dwight York their top scorer no Ian Taylor both injured Scott Murray
00:40replaces the unlucky Gary Charles who's begun his journey back from breaking an
00:45ankle and Julian Joachim gets a chance up front
00:50matches the City pair the two who have had their problems this season now Quinn
00:54and Uwe Reusda who despite that fact have scored half of City's total goals this
01:00season they also welcome back Nicky Somerby who missed his first match last
01:04week one win and four draws away from home all season is their record Villa have
01:10been beaten here just twice
01:15first from officiating in Johannesburg in midweek the match between South Africa and Brazil
01:20and David Ellery from power on the hill is our referee
01:3012 months ago in the last home match of the season life is very uncomfortable for Aston Villa they survived
01:38now all the pressure is on Manchester City
01:43last season finished just one place above them
01:46Joachim
01:48all the substitutes of Manchester City being asked to warm up my animal told to might be more accurate
02:10and some of it did well
02:17that's it
02:21Quinn
02:29Quinn
02:33Quinn
02:35Quinn
02:37Quinn
02:39Quinn
02:45sent a message to right right well Brown well to get himself in front of Murray
02:53and he hope he had curl
02:55Lomas
02:59hospital pass is being given
03:04oh
03:04what balance for Kinkladze
03:09just couldn't get enough base on the pass through it was Ehiog who brought it all to the end
03:13but it was a wonderful piece of play by Kinkladze bearing in mind that he was actually given a hospital ball at the start of it
03:19he got ball and the challenge at the same time
03:24but was able not only to win the ball but then to balance himself well to throw a couple more
03:31off his scent
03:32Stompson
03:45comes down to Johnson who was reading on just that
03:48he was waiting for it but pulled it across the face
03:54he was waiting for it but pulled it across the face
03:59had 25 minutes no score
04:22and now the goalkeepers had to make a save
04:26Vlasovic beat the touchline
04:37Joachim
04:50Townsend
04:50Vlasovic
04:53Draper
04:58Try by Mark Draper
05:05Spin turn was pretty quick
05:08Couldn't keep it down
05:10Miss by McGrath
05:21Right
05:24And by Townsend
05:30Three minutes away from half time
05:40No score
05:43And there really hasn't looked like being one
05:45Except for one flashing shot from Johnson
05:49Here is Johnson again
05:54He plans a length on him a bit
05:57And after he gives the free kick
05:59Could be a really bad moment
06:03For all the visitors to concede
06:06Just on the stroke of half time
06:08It's taken to right
06:12Oh off the underside of the crossbar
06:15Hit it well
06:20And it beat the goalkeeper
06:23But the underside was in Manchester City's favour
06:29Draper
06:30Zipped away from him just at the wrong moment
06:34Lifted the home crowd
06:37Milosevic
06:40Milosevic
06:40Termination by Kinkleti
06:45What a crack by right
06:52Curl away
06:53And it was clearly underside of crossbar
06:56Curl
07:07Quynh almost got away
07:13Roesler
07:13Shooting chance here
07:15Good block
07:17And then it came straight off Quynh
07:18For the goal kick
07:19But he would have been offside anyway
07:21Goa wouldn't have counted
07:23As the ball got in off Quynh
07:25But it had to be struck first time here
07:30But Quynh was in an offside position
07:33Brown
07:37Offside club
07:39Eheok
07:51Living a little dangerously
07:54The Kinkleti of all people
07:56Still a little Georgian
07:58But he was very, very well policed
08:02By McGrath
08:03An object lesson there
08:05For any youngster
08:07Watching how to defend
08:08A mistake by Eheok
08:11Set up the chance
08:12But just watch what Paul McGrath
08:17Does here
08:17Just keeps an eye
08:20Forces in wide
08:21Forces in wide
08:22Doesn't make the challenge
08:23And Kinkleti
08:25Does his job for him
08:27And it certainly lightened up
08:36Towards the half time whistle
08:38And Alan Moore's team
08:41And he may feel so far so good
08:43They certainly haven't played like a team
08:44Hugely threatened
08:45But he's indebted
08:47To a touch of wood
08:49That denied
08:50Alan Wright
08:51Who really struck the ball cleanly
08:54And it was the only time in the half
08:55That the goalkeeper
08:56Was certainly beaten
08:57City began the afternoon
09:08With the same points total
09:09As Southampton
09:11And Coventry
09:12But seven and six goals
09:15Worse off respectively
09:16That really is worth a point
09:19For the others
09:20Away by Kerl
09:23Kinkleti
09:25As ever
09:28Gave some illumination
09:29To
09:30The first 45 minutes
09:32Here's Brown
09:33Who tried to do likewise
09:35Lomas
09:39Some have been having to come back
09:45Offside
09:50This is late
09:59Telling for a quick pop of the cigar
10:01Kidd Simons
10:07Resler
10:10Absolutely no doubt
10:12Which team
10:13Needs the points
10:15The greater
10:15Bosnitz has come
10:18And has to bury
10:20Second time in card
10:21Resler
10:22Over the top
10:23And indeed wide as well
10:24He actually had more time than that
10:27But
10:29Winners Australian goalkeepers
10:31Had a bit of a walkabout
10:33In this one
10:33Pass it down
10:36Challenged by Clough
10:39Resler with the spectacular
10:40That he just couldn't get the boot
10:42Over the top of the ball enough
10:43And all the Manchester City supporters
10:46Are standing
10:48Quinn
10:51Clough
10:53Had 10 minutes
10:56In the second half
10:57Beeply done
11:06Johnson
11:07Knows as the referee
11:09And Kiddens
11:10Can't believe it
11:11Panic
11:11And a number of the City players
11:12David Ellery
11:14Just
11:14Moves away
11:16From complete
11:16As the booze ring
11:19From that end
11:20Six and one
11:23Half a dozen
11:24Of the other
11:24For me
11:25Vilosovic
11:29A lovely take on the
11:31Inset
11:31Unnecessary challenge
11:50Pushed by Kirl
11:51Gives the free kick
11:53And he out
12:02Salters forward
12:03McGrath coming from the 18-yard line
12:07And it was
12:09Milosevic
12:10And the bounce
12:11Was really difficult
12:13For Immel
12:13And it really was
12:17A difficult
12:17Spinning ball
12:18For Eike Immel
12:19And he just
12:21Managed to keep it out
12:22Right foot
12:27Resler
12:31That's the corner
12:34But Simons is just
12:43Inside the box
12:44And Quinn
12:45To make a long run
12:46Too
12:46And Quinn
12:51Who won it
12:51And Simons
12:52And it was blocked
12:53For another corner
12:54And it was well met
13:01By Quinn
13:01And Simons
13:03Here on the right
13:04In the six-yard box
13:11Now
13:11Resler there as well
13:12Quinn again
13:14And Lomas arriving
13:16Was just taken away
13:17From him
13:18That's it
13:31Draper
13:32That's it
13:37Brown
13:49Still Michael Brown
13:56Nicky Somerby
14:00Another corner
14:02Number four
14:10Somerby to take
14:12Again they're coming
14:15From the back
14:16And this is Quinn
14:17Just a touch
14:18Just a touch
14:18And club
14:18Blocked by
14:20Bosnich being there
14:21At the same time
14:22Really
14:22Somerby with a bit of room
14:27Lomas moving inside him
14:30Quinn on the far post
14:31Resler prepared to run
14:32Left to right
14:33Here's Lomas
14:36Five in the box
14:40Five in the box
14:40Quinn
14:41Challenged by a heel
14:42Pulled down by Johnson
14:46And then given away
14:48Some of it
14:52Good strike
14:55Mark Bosnich well forward
15:03And he killed it well
15:05Five years since the
15:17Manchester City side
15:17This one here
15:19Long before
15:19Alan Ball's time
15:20And only five teams
15:23Have held
15:24Leston Villa here
15:24This season
15:25That's it
15:28Lomas
15:29Brown
15:30Ball for the cross
15:35Here's Quinn
15:37And it's in
15:39Got a deflection
15:40Lomas
15:42Goes to the Manchester
15:43City supporters
15:44And Worcester takes
15:48The applause as well
15:49But it seemed to me
15:51To go in off
15:52Paul McGrath
15:53Brown's cross
15:57Met
15:58Solidly
15:59And it finally
16:00Went in off
16:01McGrath
16:01Nothing McGrath
16:05Could do about it
16:05That's where the damage
16:06Was first done
16:07Quinn was given
16:08The chance of the
16:09Clear powerful header
16:11In
16:11Lomas with the follow up
16:13And off Paul McGrath
16:14And Manchester City lead
16:16No reaction
16:20Staunted
16:23Into the last quarter
16:29For Renard
16:29And here's the chance
16:31For Johnson
16:31Good tackle
16:33Excellent tackle
16:35By young Michael
16:36Brown
16:37Had to get that right
16:39And did
16:40And Bosnich
16:54Joining the attackers
16:56Staunton has stayed back
16:59And why they don't
17:00Reverse that
17:00I don't know
17:01Townsend takes
17:03Davis
17:04He met it
17:09Suddenly enough
17:10But from his point of view
17:12The wrong side of the post
17:13Klopp
17:19With recovery
17:21Because he'd lost it
17:22Briefly
17:23Come on referee
17:26We want the final whistle
17:27There's a clear instruction
17:28From the men to the city bench
17:30Out covers Bosnich
17:33The victory is celebrated
17:40The smile says it all
17:43Alan Ball's team
17:45Still alive
17:47In the premiership
17:48The one goal scored
17:49By Steve Lomas
17:51To delight
17:53Both his manager
17:54And the supporters
17:56Of Manchester City
17:57But it's not
17:59All over yet
18:00There's still one match
18:01To be played
18:02But it's looking a lot brighter
18:04Than it did at 3 o'clock
18:05This afternoon
