On This Day
Villa take a third minute lead in an away game for the second successive time but despite holding on to half time with a slim advantage they concede three second half goals to top six side Huddersfield to remain 21st in the table, one point from safety having played one more game than those around them.
Tommy Cummings' Villa now have just two wins in the last twenty two games as they make it two wins, seven draws and eight defeats in seventeen division two games so far this season.
