ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 14 April 1979
Villa slump to defeat to Leeds at Elland Road to fall to 14th in the table - their lowest position in a season that has so far proven long, hard, attritional and debilitating on an injury ravaged squad.
Ron Saunders' Villa lose for the third time in six to make it ten wins, fourteen draws and nine defeats in thirty three division one games this season.
