On This Day
Saturday, 5 September 1970
Villa bounce back from their first third division defeat with a narrow victory over Doncaster despite a poor performance as Andy Lochhead scores his first goal for the club and Villa rise to joint second, one point behind leaders Fulham with five played.
Vic Crowe's Villa bounce back from their ten man loss as Andy Lochhead finally scores 16 games after joining Villa from Leicester City in February. As a result, Villa make it three wins, a draw and a defeat in five division three games so far this season.

Mick Wright.
"I was glad to get that over with [Scoring his first goal in his seventeenth game].
