ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 7 February 1981
Villa and Everton serve up another peach of a match at Goodison as they win yet more admirers to go with their top of the table status as they continue to raise the standard of football.

Villa make it 🟩 five wins in 🕒 six to make it 🟩 eighteen wins, 🟨 six draws and 🟥 five defeats in 🕒 twenty nine League matches this season under Ron Saunders 🏴.
Villa remain in joint first place in the Division One table level with Ipswich.
Midfielder Gordon Cowans 🏴 scores his ⚽ 25th goal in a Villa shirt on his 🕒 192nd appearance (177 Starts) to make it 🟩 W87 🟨 D51 🟥 L54, ⚽ 25 Goals and 🔥 24 Assists at a goal involvement rate of one for every 3.92 games he has played so far in his Villa career.
Winger Tony Morley 🏴 makes his 🕒 50th start in a Villa shirt.
