Match Media
On This Day
  • Villa concede their twentieth goal in four successive defeats as tedious Tony promises a seventh transfer request but doesn’t seem to have wondered why no-one is actually queuing up for his signature. Villa remain 20th in the table and out of the relegation places on goal average.

  • Dick Taylor's Villa concede their twentieth goal in four games as they are beaten for the fourth successive game to make it two wins, one draw and seven defeats in ten League games so far this season. 

  • Meanwhile, forward John Woodward made his Villa debut aged 19 after moving from Stoke City earlier this month for a fee of £27,500.
