ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 18 September 1976
Villa prove their own worst enemies as John Burridge has nothing to do except pick two goals out of the net after two needless first half Villa mistakes from the normally dependable Chris Nicholl and Leighton Phillips whilst Villa miss their scoring opportunities to lose a second successive game and fall back to 8th in the first division table.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it three wins and three defeats in six division one games this season.
