On This Day
  • A better performance but Villa are out of luck as they lose a third game in succession and fall to 15th in the table as their FA Cup conquerers win again. 

  • Dick Taylor's Villa lose for the fourth time in five and for the third successive game to make it ten wins, two draws and fourteen defeats in twenty six League matches.
