On This Day
Despite taking the lead, Villa fall to a second successive heavy defeat as a questionable penalty for hands gives Peter Harris his first of five goals to send Villa down with twelve goals conceded in two games. Portsmouth had started the game at the foot of the table with no wins from three.
Eric Houghton's Villa suffer a second successive heavy defeat and have now shipped twelve goals in two games with a five goal thrashing at Fratton Park. As a result Villa's previous eight game unbeaten run is a distant memory as they make it one win, one draw and two defeats in four division one games so far this season, scoring eight and conceding fifteen.
