On This Day
Villa suffer a "soccer mugging" but remain top of the table on goal difference from Blackburn, both of whom are six points clear of the chasing pack with eight to play.
Graham Taylor's Villa lose for the third time in five League games having lost just once in the previous twenty five Division Two matches.
