2000–01 season of Aston Villa
Aston Villa 2000–01 football season
During the 2000–01 English football season , Aston Villa competed in the Premier League (known as the FA Carling Premiership for sponsorship reasons). Another season of decent (but rarely exciting) form saw Villa secure another top-10 finish, though this time they dipped slightly into eighth place after occupying sixth place a year earlier . Villa proved themselves as one of the hardest Premiership teams to beat, with only the top three sides suffering fewer defeats than Villa's 10, but a mere 13 wins and a staggering 15 draws ended any hopes of a title bid or even a top-six finish.
Juan Pablo Ángel (175) signed Villa on 12 January 2001, becoming the club's record signing at £ 9.5 million. Angel made his debut away to Manchester United in a 0-2 loss on 20 January 2001.[1] Steve Staunton (208), Thomas Hitzlsperger (99 ), Alpay Özalan (58 ), David Ginola (41 ), Gilles De Bilde (4 ), and Luc Nilis (3 ).

Final league table [ edit ]
Source:
Premier League Rules for classification: 1) points; 2) goal difference; 3) number of goals scored.
Notes:
^ Since Liverpool won the League Cup and qualified for the Champions League, their UEFA Cup place went to fifth-placed Ipswich Town. Since both FA Cup finalists , Liverpool and Arsenal, qualified for the Champions League, the berth in the UEFA Cup went to sixth-placed Chelsea. Both Ipswich and Chelsea were the highest-ranked team not already qualified for a European competition.
