On This Day
In this season of below par performances you can now add bizarre. Les Smith, for the second time in five games, is forced to leave the field with injury in the first half - this time with a broken collarbone and a permanent exit from the match. Villa's ten men though play better than at any point this season and come away with a desperately needed second win of the campaign.
Eric Houghton's Villa make it two games unbeaten as they win for the first time in four to record two wins, one draw and three defeats in six division one games this season.
