Dublin sets his goals high

Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has set his sights on surpassing his previous best tally of 21 goals in a season.

Aston Villa striker Dion Dublin has set his sights on surpassing his previous best tally of 21 goals in a season.

Dublin is in a rich vein of form and his brace against Blackburn on Sunday took his tally to eight in the last five matches.

It's in stark contrast to his fortunes at the start of the season when Dublin found himself fifth-choice striker after returning from a loan spell at Millwall.

But, while manager Graham Taylor has switched his striking combinations to try and find the right formula, 33-year-old Dublin has remained a permanent fixture.

He has 14 goals to his credit during the current campaign and has become only the ninth player to notch 100 Premiership goals.
