On This Day
Despite a second defeat in three games Villa remain two clear at the top of Division Two with six games left to play.
Graham Taylor's Villa continue their indifferent late season form as they lost for the fourth time in seven League games having lost just once in the previous twenty five. As a result odds on automatic promotion hangs in the balance.
