On This Day
Tommy Clayton scores his first goal for Villa as Villa win for the first time in five under Jimmy Hogan as they beat joint leaders Sheffield United at Villa Park.
What is it about Sheffield sides and on pitch thuggery though? Yet again the unseemly side of the game, whether Wednesday or United, is on show.
Villa bounce back from a first defeat in six to win for the first time in five and make it nine wins, four draws and four defeats in seventeen division two games under Jimmy Hogan.

Match Timeline
โฝ | 25' Goal, 1-0, Tommy Clayton, Assist by Ernie Callaghan
๐ | HT Aston Villa 1-0 Sheffield United
๐ | Both sets of players become emboiled in a melee in the Villa box
๐ | Referee Taylor awards a free kick to the visitors after a Jimmy Allen executes what looks to be a perfect challenge on the visiting forward
๐ | Despite the 'foul' being in the box, referee Taylor still insists on a 'free kick' despite the correct award being a penalty
๐ | Protests continue for several minutes as referee Taylor refuses to change his decision either on the non-foul or the free-kick over penalty decision
๐ | In order to exit the controversy, referee Taylor ducks under the arguing players and runs to the centre
๐ | After four minutes referee Taylor signals play to continue only to then call over Jimmy Allen for further discussions
๐ | Finally play resumes and the free kick comes to nothing
๐ | Referee Taylor is roundly booed for any decision made over the following minutes
๐ | Referee Taylor takes no action as a Sheffield United player hacks down George Cummings
