On This Day
Villa lose at the Manor Ground amid sensationalist headlines to remain joint fourth but they are now joined by Preston as well as Luton, one point of third and three points off the second promotion place held by QPR. Burnley sit five clear at the top, all having played 19 games.
Vic Crowe's Villa lose for the second game in succession and fail to score for the third successive match as they make it eight wins, seven draws and four defeats in nineteen League games.

What they Said
โVilla fans got into the London Road stand firs, and shortly before the kick off Oxford supporters tried to push them out and succeeded.
โEveryone was pushing agains a wall and the crush barriers.
โThe wall and barriers held, but hundreds of fans decided that it might be safer out on the pitch.โ
