ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 15 December 1923
Sampy's goal on 5' was the first Villa had conceded in 8 since Albion scored against them on 20 October.
Villa lose for the first time in eight games despite Len Capewell's second goal in four as they suffer a shock defeat at Bramall Lane to make it eight wins, nine draws and four defeats in twenty one division one games.
Meanwhile, midfielder Norman Mackay made his Villa debut aged 21 after joining from Hibernian earlier this month.
