On This Day
  • Villa win at the City Ground to make it three games unbeaten and climb to 10th in the table alongside Chelsea, Everton, Manchester United and Sunderland. Wantaway Tony Hateley โ€˜scoresโ€™ the winner in a typical physical scramble from the blunt instrument that is the centre forward.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa win for the first time in four to make it six wins, two draws and six defeats in fourteen League fixtures this season.
