On This Day
Villa, effectively shorn of a goalkeeper from the 23rd minute fall to Everton despite a plucky fightback in the second half. To make matters worse Myerscough plays with injury for the majority of the game.
Eric Houghton's Villa lose for the second successive game and for the tenth time in fifteen to make it four wins, three draws and ten defeats in seventeen division one games so far this season.
