On This Day
Villa suffer their fourth defeat in six games as they are unexpectedly and unluckily beaten at Roker Park.
A goal after 40 seconds, a clear handball missed by referee and linesman putting the hosts two up, the loss of Trevor Ford as an attacking force due to a groin injury and George Cummings retiring from the game at half time meant Villa never really stood a fair chance in a rare defeat to old rivals Sunderland.
