Not recorded

  • Villa suffer shock defeat against lowly Huddersfield just two games after beating them at Villa Park. The Northeners end a run of six defeats as Villa blow the chance to take the outright lead at the top of the table.

  • It is Villa's first defeat in eight and first since the opening day of the season compounded by a stupid and avoidable own goal from the over confident Danny Blanchflower - not his first - but it shouldn't have happened as Villa hit the crossbar on no less than five occasions and hold all the attacking play.
