On This Day
Saturday, 20 December 1930
Villa are hard done by at Maine Road as 'keeper Percy Maggs, just as Fred Biddlestone was against Derby, is compromised by a first half injury before referee Woodward refuses a blatant penalty for a trip on Jack Mandley in the second half.
Pongo Waring scores his TWENTY FIFTH goal in twenty games as Villa lose for the first time in five to make it ten wins, five draws and five defeats in their twenty division one games having scored FIFTY FIVE goals.
Villa sit joint fourth, four points off joint leaders Wednesday and Arsenal as their mini recover from their Autumn woes falters.
