ON THIS DAY
Villa lose for only the second time in thirteen Premier League games as they again can't get to grips with a combination of a tiny, ramshackle ground, a bloke with a bell and some very, very highly remunerated players. As a result Villa fall back to seventh in the table with eight to play.
