On This Day
In an end to end game Villa and Derby create myriad chances but a goal on the stroke of half time hands the home side the advantage as they secure the points in the second half.
George Ramsay's reigning Champions' title defence really comes off the rails as they suffer a third consecutive defeat - for the first time since October 1892 - make it no wins in 6 games, and fall back to 5th in the table 7 points behind leaders Sheffield United, having played a game more and with just 8 League games remaining.

What they Said
"Afterwards Villa tried hard to recover lost ground, but failed, and in the last minute Maconnochie nearly got through, heading the ball against the crossbar."
DERBY COUNTY v. ASTON VILLA.
At Derby, before 12,000 spectators. Derby, who had the sun in their eyes, had the worst of the play at starting. Notwithstanding this their scored the first through Maconnochie.
The Villa, however, equalised from a long shot by B. Sharp.
Just before the interval M’Queen placed Derby ahead. Halt time: Derby, two goals: Aston Villa, one goal.
The second half was productive of some very fine fast football, and after Derby had made many attacks Maconnochie gave them a third goal with a fine shot.
Afterwards Villa tried hard to recover lost ground, but failed, and in the last minute Maconnochie nearly got through, heading the ball against the crossbar.
