On This Day
Villa make it back to back losses as despite pulling the game back to 2-2 with two fabulous goals from the Tony Hateley and Ron Wylie combination they ship 3 in the second half and slump to 17th in the table.
Joe Mercer's Villa lose successive matches for the first time this season despite a Tony Hateley brace at Anfield and make it four wins, a draw and six defeats in the first eleven League games of the season.
