On This Day
Villa score three, including a brace and twentieth of the season from George Brown, but lose for the third time in five.
Villa find themselves 0-4 down by 40' after a series of mistakes by 'keeper Olney and Eric Houghton missing a penalty on debut but grab a consolation goal ahead of the break.
Villa's second half performance, including that of Olney, is transformed as they bombard the Leeds goal with only fortune saving the northerners.
Villa make it twelve wins, four draws and eight defeats in twenty four division one games.
Villa fall back to joint 4th as their strong early Winter form falters.
Winger Eric Houghton made his Villa debut after joining from Billingborough FC in August 1927.
