On This Day
A goalkeeping error from Dennis Parsons gifts Newcastle the lead but it's the downright thuggery from the visitors that takes the headlines.
Referee Topliss however is unable to get a grip or stamp any sort of authority on proceedings and so, predictably, as the game progresses so does Newcastle's escalation in wreckless tackles.
Eric Houghton's Villa make it two wins, two draws and four losses after eight division one games
