ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 9 March 1935
Villa's seven game unbeaten run comes to an end
Villa concede four or more for the seventh time in 1934-35 under Jimmy McMullan
Villa had done so five times across 48 games under Billy Smith in 1933-34.
Eric Houghton scores directly from a free kick midway through the half but 10' before the interval they lose Dai Astley to injury.
The Villa forward cannot resume after half time and City immediately equalise.
Villa send on the injured Astley and he lasts 10 minutes before retiring once again, immediately after City score to take the lead and Villa are powerless to stop a first defeat in eight.
Villa make it twelve wins, ten draws and ten defeats in thirty two under Jimmy McMullan.
Villa with five clean sheets in thirty three games under McMullan concede their 69th goal.
