On This Day
Villa fail to score and are beaten for the second successive game following their six game unbeaten run at the start of their first season in the second tier.
Villa face Doncaster Rovers for the first time in competitive football, Rovers become the 80th team that the Villa first team has played in League or Cup football.
The only goal of the game comes from a Fred Biddlestone error who misjudges the flight of a harmless shot that settles in the back of the net.
