On This Day
Villa beat City at Maine Road with 19 year old 'keeper Keith Jones outstanding to record their first ever win on 3 January at the 7th attempt (4 draws and 2 defeats).
Villa take outright 8th place but the two Wolves defeats still hurt having ended an eight game unbeaten run that had seen Villa drop from 4th to 8th.
