Villa suffer a Christmas day nightmare as they are reduced to six men through injury and are hit for six without reply to record their heaviest defeat since losing 1-7 at Turf Moor in February 1921.
Keeper Cyril Spiers, defender Alec Talbot, midfielders Frank Moss and George Blackburn and forward Albert Surtees are all incapacitated with Surtees the first to be rendered unable to perform in just the 5' of the game.
Villa make it six wins, ten draws and five defeats in twenty one division one games.

Centre forward Arthur Phoenix scores a brace on his Villa debut aged 22 after joining from Birmingham in May 1924 but it's a patched up Villa who do the business after losing 5 players to injury in the previous day's game at Elland Road.
One day after shipping six against them, Villa beat Leeds on Boxing day to make it seven wins, ten draws and five defeats in twenty two division one games.

On This Day
Villa, whose injury crisis since the turn of the year shows no sign of abating, suffer more setbacks at Maine Road, losing George Jakeman and Len Capewell to first half injuries.
Villa lose in the final seconds to make it twelve defeats in eighteen games and make it ten wins, twelve draws and sixteen defeats in thirty eight division one games.
Winger Joe Eccles made his tenth and final appearance for Villa aged 20 before moving on to West Ham United in August 1926.
