On This Day
Villa's almost non-existent fight against relegation takes a turn for the worse as they are beaten by third from bottom Spurs who now have a three point lead over Villa with five games of their season left to play.
Villa, three points behind, have three to play.
Eric Houghton's Villa score three away from home after successive goalless draws but lose at White Hart Lane to make it eight wins, thirteen draws and eighteen defeats in thirty nine division one games this season.
