On This Day
Villa win at Leeds Road despite being reduced to 10 men after 25' due to John Graham suffocating a dislocated shoulder and having to retire from the field of play.
Trevor Ford wins it for Villa with his first goal since his return from injury three games previously.
Villa climb back to joint eighth.
