Villa concede five for the second successive game and the third time in seven games but the match proves very different at Elland Road as Villa fight back twice to equalise before three late Leeds goals end Villa's resistance.
Meanwhile the Birmingham Evening Mail are presumably skipping with joy as they can put the knife in even further despite the hypocrisy of admitting beneath the headline that Villa aren't going down.
Tony Daley makes his 200th appearance in a Villa shirt (170 Starts) to make it W71 D50 L79, 28 Goals and 23 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.92 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Kent Nielsen scores his 5th goal in a Villa shirt on his 93rd appearance (90 Starts) to make it W39 D23 L31, 5 Goals and 7 Assists so far in his Villa career.
Centre forward Gary Penrice's goalless streak extends to his 10th appearance (7 Starts) to make it W2 D2 L6, 0 Goals and 1 Assist so far in his Villa career.

"I felt fit and fresh.
“Obviously, this is another disappointing result.
“But we have to think positively and that means going out to win our last two games."
David Platt.
VILLA remain dangerously close to the danger area after losing the points at Elland Road yesterday.
Leeds went ahead in the 23rd minute when, in attempting to cut out a cross by McAllister, Villa defender Price turned the ball into his own net.
Four minutes later Villa equalised when Nielsen scored with a powerful drive from 15 yards.
Leeds went into a 2-1 lead in the 37th minute when Chapman headed in his 28th goal of the season,
A free kick by Stertand found Whyte and he nodded the bail on to Chapman for the big Leeds striker to score a simple goal.
The visitors drew level in the 55th minute. From a corner by Cowans the ball took a deflection off a Leeds defender and Villa's Mountfield was on the spot to beat Lukic from close range.
Further goals by Whyte, Shutt and Chapman gave Leeds the points in a game in which they looked all at ease.
