ON THIS DAY
Graham Turner's Villa see their three game winning run end as they fail to score for the fifteenth time this season, as a result Villa make it twelve wins in thirty five League games, whilst also losing twelve.
This goalscoring blank however was an extraordinary one with Villa laying almost constant siege to the Albion goal from first to last.
Meanwhile, Didier Six made his final appearance for Villa before moving on to Metz in June. Six had only joined Villa in October and played just 18 times, scoring twice.
