On This Day
Villa lose to Chelsea for the first time in five games, lose for the fourth time this season and the third time in six away games.
Referee Iliffe has more influence on the game than a competent official should with his low point the punishment of Johnny Dixon and Vic Potts for colliding with EACHOTHER. That the ridiculous decision led to a goal was scandal enough, that it was clearly offside blew the minds of the onlookers - including the Villa team and staff.
To make matters all the more galling Villa fall back to 8th as Chelsea leapfrog them into 6th.
