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.
