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.
