ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 18 January 1969
Tommy Docherty's Villa lose for the first time under his stewardship and the first time in six games after conceding a goal in the 90'+5 minute as his controversial time-wasting tactics come back to haunt them.
As a result of the reverse, Villa make it seven wins, eight draws and thirteen defeats in twenty eight division two games so far this season and are still deep in relegation trouble.
