ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 21 December 1935
Villa are hammered for the third consecutive game having conceded seventeen and scored just twice to make it four wins, four draws and twelve defeats in twenty games whilst conceding sixty four.
Villa lose for the ninth time in thirteen as Frank Broome hits Villa's second goal across three successive hammerings having conceded seventeen.
The game however was initially notable for a bizarre refereeing decision in the opening minutes when Broome scored before the referee rescinded his decision having already pointed to the centre.
Villa now have a single clean sheet in 26 games.
