On This Day
Villa lose for only the third time in fifteen despite a brace of penalties, one from George Brown for his seventeenth of the campaign.
In more misfortune than would normally be expected across an entire season Villa lose at a waterlogged Upton Park having suffered four injuries, leading to one player unable to contribute from the 28' and another incapacitated for the final quarter.
As a result Villa play the game with at times 10 and sometimes 9 men. To add insult to injury West Ham score an offside goal before a collision that injures Villa's Walker leads directly to a goal for the home side.
Villa are beaten for only the third time in fifteen to make it eleven wins, three draws and six defeats in twenty division one games.
Villa fall back to joint third in the table.
