ON THIS DAY
Villa lose for the second time in four games under Graham Taylor as the reality of his rushed appointment was brought to bear by his worryingly passive post match comments after defeat to a side firmly mired in the relegation places. Meanwhile, Schmeichel concedes three for the fifth time this season.
