ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 22 November 1980
A typical Anfield refereeing performance gifts lucky Liverpool the points in injury time as Villa's lead at the top of the table is cut to two points in the most predictable way possible.
Ron Saunders' 🏴 Villa 🟥 lose for the first time in thirteen in the League to make it 🟩 twelve wins, 🟨 four draws and 🟥 three defeats in 🕒 nineteen League matches this season.
As a result of their defeat to reigning champions Liverpool, Villa remain clear at the top of the Division One table but now are just two points ahead of Ipswich.
Midfielder Dennis Mortimer 🏴 makes his 🕒 225th appearance in a Villa shirt.
Goalkeeper Jimmy Rimmer 🏴 makes his 🕒 175th appearance in a Villa shirt.
