🟩 12 Apr 2025, Villa 3-0 Southampton, St Mary's TBL.png
On This Day
  • Villa's poor start to the season continues and though they score three away from home and make it 7 goals in three games they have now conceded 12 with one point to show for it.

  • Johnny Dixon scores two and creates one but the truth is Villa are never in the game, trailing 1-5 at half time.
