On This Day
Villa's topsy turvy season continues to confound as they follow up a decent win with a poor performance and defeat at top of the table Blackburn.
Joe Mercer's Villa follow up their first win in four with defeat and fail to score for the ninth time in fifteen matches to make it eight wins, three draws and twelve defeats in twenty three League games.
