On This Day
An unlucky defeat at Fratton Park was followed by an absolute battering for Eric Houghton's men at White Hart Lane as fears of another collapse in form envelop the club as Villa slump to 20th in the table.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose successive matches, and concede six for the second time in six, to make it eleven wins, five draws and eighteen defeats in thirty four division one games.
