Attendance: 43,996

On This Day
  • Dicky York scores a brace to make it five goals in as many games but Villa concede six against bottom side Albion as the derby ends in a totally unexpected result.

  • Villa lose after a run of five successive wins in seven unbeaten games.

  • Villa make it fifteen wins, five draws and thirteen defeats in their thirty three division one matches. 

  • Villa fall back to 7th with the visit of neighbours Birmingham next.
