Villa concede after 10' and lose to Albion at the Hawthorns for only their 🟥 third defeat in thirteen League games as they remain 10th in the first division.
Graham Turner's 🏴 Villa see their three game winning run end as they fail to score for the fifteenth time this season.
This goalscoring blank however was an extraordinary one with Villa laying almost constant siege to the Albion goal from first to last.
Villa make it 🟩 twelve wins in 🕒 thirty five League games, whilst also 🟥 losing twelve.
Centre forward Didier Six 🇫🇷 makes his 18th and final appearance in a Villa shirt (14 Starts) before moving on to Metz 🇫🇷 in June. Six 🇫🇷 had only joined Villa in October and left with a record of 🟩 W6 🟨 D6 🟥 L6, ⚽ 2 Goals and 🔥 2 Assists.
