Dion's double downs Rovers

VETERAN striker Dion Dublin’s hot scoring streak continued as Aston Villa gained revenge for their FA Cup mauling by Blackburn with a comfortable Premiership victory at Villa Park.

Graham Taylor’s side had been trounced 4-1 in The FA Cup meeting on the same ground three weeks ago, but they dominated this encounter and leap-frogged Rovers in the table.

Blackburn manager Graeme Souness accused Villa defender Ronny Johnsen of trying to get his defender James McEveley sent off.
