ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 3 December 1977
Villa lose for the second successive game but also suffer at the hands of the officials for the second game in a row as Andy Gray's first half equaliser is wrongly ruled out.
Ron Saunders' Villa have now suffered three defeats in five matches having previously gone nine games unbeaten. As a result Villa make it seven wins, four draws and six defeats in seventeen division one games this season.
