ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 21 December 1929
Villa lose for only the third time in fifteen despite a brace of penalties, one from George Brown for his seventeenth of the campaign.
In more misfortune than would normally be expected across an entire season Villa lose at a waterlogged Upton Park having suffered four injuries, leading to one player unable to contribute from the 28' and another incapacitated for the final quarter. As a result Villa play the game with at times 10 and sometimes 9 men. To add insult to injury West Ham score an offside goal before a collision that injures Villa's Walker leads directly to a goal for the home side.
Villa are beaten for only the third time in fifteen to make it eleven wins, three draws and six defeats in twenty division one games.
