On This Day
Villa are watched by their smallest Villa Park crowd since December 1968 as Pat McMahon hits a spectacular 35 yard shot that nestles in the top corner after 12โ to set Villa on the way to victory.
Vic Crowe's Villa recover from their Bristol beating to make it fifteen wins, twelve draws and nine defeats in thirty six League games.
