Match Media
On This Day
  • Dai Astley scores his twentieth of the season but Villa are heavily beaten from the off by Sunderland.

  • Villa's season in miniature as they lose and concede five to a team they had put seven past and beaten a week earlier. As a result Villa make it ten wins, four draws and thirteen defeats in twenty seven division one games.
