On This Day
Villa and Chelsea play out a goalless draw in poor conditions as Villa rise to 7th in the table.
Ron Saunders' Villa make it seven wins, four draws and five defeats in sixteen division one games this season.
What they Said
"Yes, it was a patchy, bitty match.
โBut the wind was the main cause.
"One moment it was swirling all around you and the next it was blowing hard in one direction and ball control was extremely difficult.
โThere was a lot of young players out there between the two sides and maybe with a bit more experience it would have been different."
Ron Saunders.
