On This Day
Clem Stephenson scores a brace but Villa succumb to a late winner and are beaten for the fifth time in seven.
Villa make it nine wins, four draws and eight defeats in twenty one division one games.
Villa have now collapsed to 10th in the table having been first five games earlier.
Goalkeeper Cyril Spiers makes his Villa debut aged 18 after moving from Halesowen earlier in the month but has an unhappy time as he concedes four in an uncertain display.
