On This Day
Villa play at home on New Years day for only the fourth time in their history.
Villa had played their first New Years Day fixture in January 1891 and have now played just four home games on 1st January in 75 years.
Villa make it successive wins after allowing a two goal lead to slip, despite the points Villa drop to 14th having played two, and in some cases, three, fewer games then the rest of the League.
Dick Taylor's Villa - after an extended break - open 1966 with a second successive victory and have now scored ten goals in three games to make it nine wins, two draws and eleven defeats in twenty two League matches.
