ON THIS DAY
Villa stormed to victory after conceding the first goal however the game was most noticeable for a bizarre banner in the away end then positioned in the bottom tier of the North Stand.
The Manchester City fans - long time strangers to even moderate success - had taken time to produce a large banner supporting Villa’s title run against their local revivals and signed it from the “City of Manchester”.
Villa won the game so presumably both sets of fans left happy but Villa’s brave fight had all but come to the end and these would prove to be the last points the club would earn this season.
