ON THIS DAY
Friday, 26 December 1924
Centre forward Arthur Phoenix scores a brace on his Villa debut aged 22 after joining from Birmingham in May 1924 but it's a patched up Villa who do the business after losing 5 players to injury in the previous day's game at Elland Road.
One day after shipping six against them, Villa beat Leeds on Boxing day to make it seven wins, ten draws and five defeats in twenty two division one games.
