On This Day
Villa play away for the second successive game as Johnny Dixon scores for the third time in two games at the start of the season but Eric Houghton's Villa suffer a heavy defeat at Roker Park.
At Maine Road it was a poor refereeing performance that cost Villa, at Roker it was Sunderland's hoof it long game that undid Villa.
