Top of the table Derby take a first half lead completely against the run of play and then repeat the trick in the second half to leave Villa with an undeserved but third loss in nine top flight games.
Villa end 1938 on defeat despite a strong December to make it nine wins, four draws and ten defeats in twenty three division one games so far this season.
Eric Houghton scores for the fifth time in nine games as Villa lose for the third time in nine with defeat at the Baseball Ground.
