Villa now have a single win in fourteen games under the failing management committee structure, fail to score and lose for the second successive game.

Villa concede first for the eleventh time in 14 games as they suffer their eighth defeat in fourteen.

Villa slump to 19th - their lowest position of the season.

There is however no sign whatsoever that the disastrous tenure of the management committee will end with the appointment of a manager any time soon.

Meanwhile referee Jackson has a shocking game as he calls time prematurely with players injured and undergoing treatment on the pitch. Such was the anger and confusion that players remained on the pitch in the full, and correct, expectation that play would be restarted to reached its full and proper conclusion. Jackson failed to do so.

Jackson would later make the entirely erroneous claim that the injuries had been suffered in the 90' of the game.
