ON THIS DAY
Saturday, 31 October 1981
Villa’s recent bogey side and runners up to the reigning champions in last season’s first division, Ipswich, inflict a fourth successive defeat on Ron Saunders’ side as a “peculiar” refereeing performance sees Villa beaten for the first time in fifteen games.
Bobby Robson brings a defensive Ipswich to Villa Park and lucks into a victory as reigning Champions Villa lose for the first time in fourteen games and the first time in ten League matches to make it three wins, six draws and three defeats in their title defence as they fall back to 12th in the table.
