On This Day
Saturday, 23 March 1985
Villa's strong start to 1985 is brutally ended as Mark Hughes scores a 7' hat-trick by the 19' and Villa have a second defeat in nine League games to fall back to 11th in the table.
Graham Turner's Villa lose by three goals or more without reply for the fifth time this season and fail to score for the fourteenth game. As a result make it nine wins in thirty one League games, whilst losing eleven.
