On This Day
  • Villa take the lead after 2' as Harold Edgley scores his first goal for Villa but lose for a second time in three games after two controversial Spurs goals hand the home side the win.

  • Firstly the equalising goal, a penalty, with the ball out of play after multiple players fell in a mud heap.

  • Secondly, a save by debutant Lindon on the line, is deemed a goal much to the discontent of the Villa players.

  • Villa make it twelve games without a clean sheet.

  • Villa make it thirteen wins, seven draws and twelve defeats in thirty two division one games so far this season. 

  • Villa drop back to joint 6th, classified 9th.

  • Goalkeeper Albert Lindon makes his sole appearance for Villa aged 21 after moving from Birmingham in August 1910. Lindon would move on to Barnsley in September 1912.
