ON THIS DAY

Saturday, 1 April 1972

Vic Crowe's Villa's recent three game wobble (two draws and a defeat) is long forgotten as they make it successive wins again to record twenty five wins, five draws and seven defeats in 37 division three games so far this campaign. As a result, Villa (played 37, points 55) meant they now led second place Bournemouth by four points with a game in hand (played 38, points 51) and third place Brighton and Hove Albion by five points (played 37, points 50). Meanwhile, Vic Crowe makes his first substitution in nine games.

🟩 1 April 1972, Villa 2-0 Swansea, Villa Park.
