Ron Saunders' 🏴 300th game in charge of Villa sees them lose in the quarter finals of the FA Cup to second division West Ham.
An injury ravaged Villa side bolstered by youngsters play for the draw but 'concede' a disputed last gasp penalty and are knocked out of the FA Cup as they pay the price for an unusual, but understandably, negative approach to the game from Ron Saunders.

Goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer 🏴 🥅 concedes his 150th goal in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 140th appearance (1.07 per Game).

“We’d done the job we came to do and had a replay wrapped up until that penalty.
“The TV cameras will show Ken McNaught was right to argue.”
