ON THIS DAY
Wednesday, 8 March 1933
  • Villa concede a minute either side of half time and cannot do enough to grab a last gasp equaliser despite pressurising the home side's defence.

  • Villa lose for the second successive game time and the third time in four League games despite Jack Mandley's second goal in three.

  • Villa concede three for the fourth time in six games as they tumble to third, four points off second placed Wednesday and six off leaders Arsenal as their title charge under Billy Smith continues to falter.

  • Up next is the derby match against 5th placed Albion.
