On This Day
Villa take the lead after 13 seconds through George Edwards before conceding 5 before half time.
Villa though score three in the second half and have a goal controversially disallowed that would have mean 5-5 going into the last 10 minutes.
As it was the score was 4-5 with Manchester United getting a last minute 6th and all the luck in the world.
