On This Day
  • Villa, badly let down by the International Committee who had weakened the team so the previous weekend are back to a full complement for the return fixture against Middlesbrough and the inevitable prevails as a team who had not scored in two, score as many goals in one game as they had managed in their previous six.

  • Villa make it seven wins, a draw and five defeats in thirteen division one games. 

  • Villa climb to joint 5th.
